sleepytime gorilla museum - old grey heron lyrics
after years of service and distinction, the old grey heron hobbles toward extinction
unable not to care about his neighbors
they could not but appreciate his labors
a champion of fish and fowl and tree
to harvest each in time responsibly
if and when a friend should come to need
his limitless devotion guaranteed
never satisfied to walk along the path his father laid
he took his family and moved into the woods the seasons made
he made himself a life, community and strife, his love so strong
that someonе else’s pain could cut like a knifе into his heart
he fought a world war and then he marched for peace again and again and again
he had a loving wife, they gave each other life
he had a little boy, he taught him all he knew
he had a lot of tools, he lent them to his friends again and again and again
he took his neighbors kids of psychedelic shows he chaperoned
because life isn’t fair, he always tried to share the things he owned
as the heron slowly slips away
his mind and matter fading into grey
the people stop and visit just to say
“we love you, please stay with us one more day.”
