Matt Batts-With a Seed & Spade (home demo)

Oh, time/ as it goes/ flows right through me/I know
stops in to say hello/goodbye
With a seed and a spade/I have kneeled and I have prayed
may I live/may I love/ may I dream

As the trees drop their leaves/to ride a lonesome breeze
down the street/like some faded memories
and time, like the sea/in it's veil, a reverie
in it's wake/lies it's joy and it's grief

So don't let it get you down now babe
where you're going/you'll have it made
down the line/you'll be right where you belong

With a spade and a seed/I am down upon my knees
I have sown/all I've known, to be true
come the end/you will know/that beyond the ebb and flow
a reflection/as above, so below

So don't let it get you down now babe
where you're going/you'll have it made
down the line/you'll be right where you belong
and if things don't go so good/like you always hoped they would
don't think of things you could've done/because you're not the only one
who's ever lost track of the time

Oh time/as it goes/ flows right through me/I know
stops in to say hello......
