You're growing out your long hair for the fall

Swim through the trees, dignity abandoned

Stringing up another diploma along hickory wall

      A           Bm
I will refrain from laboring to put you
 E                Bm
Into the words to match your Victorian brain
 E                       Bm
But your springing up a silent paradoxical attraction
              E          A
You are my very own Rachel Carson in a Bronco 1978
 E                            F#m           E
But we can never remember the tarp that goes between the crusted earth and the eureka floor

Look I'm all saying is if the rain falls you can rely on me to rely on you more
