On many an idle day I grieved over lost times Moaned and groaned and rolled my bones But there is no lost time You've taking every moment of mine and put it into yours Hidden in the heart of things You make seeds into sprouts And hidden in the heart of things You make buds into flowers And hidden in the heart of things You make flowers into edible things I was tired and sleeping on my idle bed one night And I imagined all the work had ended for the night But in the morning I woke up and found my house was bright What majestic treats do you still have in store for me? A breath of death, a day of rest and, oh, make me wealthy And in the arms of your old charms, let me forever bask Is that too much to ask?
