I was wielding my axe drunk whisky at the bar every night coming home out the windshield of my car | |
I would look through the boughs and think | |
I saw my lucky star. | |
I was spreading my sheets took dinner all alone every night of the week awaiting by the phone. | |
I would dab off my tears with my favorite pine cone. | |
Needle prick my spruce root. | |
Dear little hemlock shoot, | |
Make me stay sharp, and keen and evergreen. | |
I would tend to my bees sell honey on the road every fall in the wet watching lorries take their load | |
And I’d get all my winnings ask for special sap in code | |
In August three weeks | |
I’m back in village where | |
I clip all sorts of brambles and thorns | |
From up the hill | |
I pip In a little clay cup the stuff | |
I cross myself and sip. | |
Needle prick my spruce root | |
Dear little hemlock shoot | |
Make me stay sharp and keen, evergreen. | |
I was casting my line angling way the day. | |
The stream was swift, it was clear, | |
But the light was getting gray. | |
I bent down by the thistle and thought of what it was | |
I’d say. Needle prick my spruce root | |
Dear little hemlock shoot | |
Make me stay sharp | |
And keen, evergreen. |
