ginger & pear - dry lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the earth is hard and unmoving
and i tread on it lightly
i cannot make a good impression
i’m not enough for frozen ground

[chorus]
my hands get weaker in the winter
the numbness of the wind sets in
i wear the season like a scarf, a weighted blanket
but i wish i had a garden again
[verse 2]
this summer past, i found my body
while coaxing life up from the dirt
i learned that i could keep it thriving
i saw my hands do something right

[chorus]
and now in this unwelcome hibernation
i turn my face toward the sun
i think of burying my future in a greenhouse
and i wish i had a garden again

[bridge]
in truth, the spring could find me barren still
i cannot conjure water in my well through force of will
it’s not the winter’s fault that i’ve run dry
there’s life here to be found
i guess i’m not enough for frozen ground

[verse 3]
so instead i reach for pencils
when i could have held a spade
i plant my seedlings in a notebook
and hope they see the light someday

[chorus]
i know that i am not a gardener
i know that i must wait for rain
and i wish i had a garden again
