lyrics

i found seven dollars on the crosswalk today, and at first thought i wondered which account of mine had been taken away.
but that was a long time ago, i was much older then.
that was a long time ago, my roots were much thicker then.
so please, bathe me in mud, give me enough.
bathe me in mud, love me long enough to learn to live off the land and the light and the water from the clouds.

is the train runnin' a bit late, or am i standin' here empty handed at the wrong gate? i haven't seen my baby in awhile.
is the train runnin' a bit late, or am i standin' here empty handed at the wrong gate,? i haven't seen my family in awhile.

but that was a long time ago, i was much older then.
that was a long time ago, my roots were much thicker then.
so please, bathe me in mud, give me enough.
bathe me in mud, love me long enough to learn to live off the land and the light and the water from the clouds.
