New leaf on a tumtum tree
Shining green translucency so tiny
This leaf owed a dark cliché
That all my possibilities are fading
You can't afford to linger long
If only is the bitterest song
You can't go back, you must go on
If only is the bitterest song
You and I hiked up a hill
Feel the forest stretch their backs below us
It was then the Earth stood still
And every surface raised its voice in chorus
You can't afford to linger long
If only is the bitterest song
You can't go back; you must go on
If only is the bitterest song
You will need a paddle
To break against the side
Out onto the water
You will float
You will glide
