The Turtle Temple - Saturnine Silence

She came along like she was hiding some deep secret, But now she's gone and I carry on to keep it. The cow's are grazing, boys, the fishing's getting good. If fate's an old woodpecker, I'm an old chunk of wood. Some mysteries we will never know, The turtle dove and the crow made a nest. We shared a line etched in stone between two years I aim to pack my grave someday and go see her Want to climb that ladder, Jacob won't you hold the door. Just got to drop me a line this side of Jordan. Some mysteries we will never know, The turtle dove and the crow made a nest. She came along like she was hiding some deep secret, She saw the future, boys, and I was her ticket. The American dream suited us just fine. I'm a lay down easy in my time of dying.

Life feels different with nothing in my My mood keeps shifting as my pain begins to fade I finally see that, It wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste, I say it wasn't all a waste 'Cause I've been hoping and praying for this day Now I'm floating like a turtle in the waves I finally see that it wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste I say it wasn't all a waste Used to scream up at the sky I want to live don't want to die I can't watch my life pass by Nothings changed how hard I try Now I got some peace of mind Improve my health I'll exercise Like a phoenix I will rise Like an eagle I will fly Used to being on the outside, looking in Now I'm inside and I'm never giving in All these changes are beginning to make motherfucking sense Ten years and running, stopping now would be a sin All this energy I've spent On these mistakes I've had to fix But every moment led to this Without my dreams I can't exist The journey's long the fall is quick Learned to recover when I slip I failed so much but never quit I failed so much but never quit Life feels different with nothing in my My mood keeps shifting as my pain begins to fade I finally see that, It wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste, I say it wasn't all a waste 'Cause I've been hoping and praying for this day Now I'm floating like a turtle in the waves I finally see that it wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste I say it wasn't all a waste Used to never think this day would ever come Feel the air rushing back into my lungs When everything is on the line you just respond Perspectives change when you turn that pressure off Life feels different with nothing in my My mood keeps shifting as my pain begins to fade I finally see that, It wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste, I say it wasn't all a waste 'Cause I've been hoping and praying for this day Now I'm floating like a turtle in the waves I finally see that it wasn't all a waste It wasn't all a waste I say it wasn't all a waste

Look at that turtle go, bro On a far away island of Salamasond I saw Yertle the turtle was king of the pond A nice little pond, it was clean it was neat The water was warm, there was plenty to eat Until one day the king of them all Decided the kingdom he ruled was too small I'm a ruler of all that I see But I don't see enough and that's the trouble with me With this stone for a throne, I am too low down I cannot look down upon the places beyond So, Yertle the turtle king lifted his hand And Yertle the turtle king gave a command He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back He piled them high into a ten turtle stack I'm Yertle the turtle, the things I now rule I'm a king of a cow, I'm a king of a mule Look at that turtle go, bro Then down from below in the great turtle stack Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack Just part of the throne, this burping little turtle looked up and said "I beg your pardon king Yertle I've pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees How long must we stand here your majesty?" "Silence!" The king of the turtles barked back To the bad burping little turtle named Mack "I'm Yertle the turtle, oh, marvelous me For I am ruler of all that I see!" Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle (Wow!)
