A G F E F G
A G
Was on a flight home from—well, it doesn’t matter
F E F G
With eleven hours, a million thoughts were gathering
A G
My mind kept going to my garden of lavender
F E F G
I wanted to get to them so they wouldn’t die
A G
When I got home, they were dry as wheat
F E F G
While the vines thrived around them B-horror film green
A G
Not sure what my lavender symbolize
F E F G
But inside my heart cried
A G
My heart is drawn to the small out-of-the-way things
F E F G
That I can’t help but to give my focus and attention and care
A G
Cause they shut off what hijacks my brain
F E F G
And help to tune out what can cause me pain
A G
And I care for the animals around my yard
F E F G
And my sister’s children and I care for my garden
A G
Swarmed upon by bumblebees
F E F G
And yellow jackets and wasps and hornets that can dart out and sting
A G
I see the big orange tabby cat
F E F G
Getting warm on the cover of the hot tub
A G
He turns over on his back
F E F G
Looking for a belly rub
A G
I see the deer tracks in the snow
F E
On the animal path
F G
That leads into my backyard
A G
I hear the sound of my girlfriend’s car
F E F G
Coming up the driveway and it fills my heart With joy
A G
Though I know it will all end someday
F E F G
And someone else will be sleeping in my mountain house
A G
Wondering who lived here before
F E
Just like I sometimes do
F G
Though I never really cared to explore
A G
I see the chocolate and peanut butter cat
F E
I look at him and he looks back
F G
I snap my fingers and blow him a kiss
A G
He rubs his head against my hand and we reminisce
F E
I walk downtown and see the Christmas lights
F G
Along the highway and how they shine
A G
And I’m reminded of when I was a child
F E F G
And how happy I felt when I opened the box and saw a guitar inside
A G
Was on a flight to somewhere I can’t remember
F E F G
I feel like I’ve lived so many lives, I can’t put it all together
A G
Dordrecht, Holland, yeah that was it
F E F G
I had a nice dinner with a concert promoter and his Korean wife, Suyoung Kim
A G
Then dropped me off at an old spooky hotel
F E F G
I felt like an old man in a castle looking over at the canal
A G
And I went and I played for a crowd but my heart wasn’t there
F E F G
I came back to my room and slouched in my bed
A G
And I fell asleep still stewing about my dried up lavender
F E F G
And I fell asleep in the dark dead night
A G
And I dreamed of a bluejay picking up a seed
F E F G
And passing it to another’s beak
A G
Then watched him soar to another branch
F E F G
Then a baby possum hissed at me as I crept up on him near a trash can
A G
And I woke up one rainy morning in Dordrecht, Holland
F E F G
Then got on a flight for London, England
