keeper
keeper of the forest, keeper of the trees
we're keeping all we can
over this instability
when i'm out to seek colour, the light that's left in me
around these shifting baselines
as near as i can see
a gasping magpie in the shimmer of the warmest night
she looks me in eye and tells me
it's gonna be alright
she says i'm half in and half out
i'm pied like a pendulum swing
like the day and night
lend each other doubt
the colour's on the wing
where the green and purple sing
and it's time for better things
keeper of the river, keeper of the reeds
keeps it all flowing
when it gets hard to be
when i'm in to wash the fear out of me
in this world where
there's nothing else for free
a floating mallard in the gentle of the waterline
she looks me in the eye and tells me
it's gonna be just fine
she says i'm half in and half out
i'm pedaling like a big worldwide wheel
like branches and the roots
keep each other ground
the trick is in the time
not in more painful trying
and it's time for better things
yeah
it's time for better things
