Bilingual
Reading from notes in a moleskin
That you'd written when you were about seventeen
About growing herbs on a window sill
And lighting tea light candles on a balcony
Now, the books on the shelf, like children in the line
Their spines give away their character
So, do you have a backbone kid? To stand out against all those other lives
For two whole years it was only letters
Heart sick days tattooed on the page
And scouting a journey to be made
When a promise was not the only currency
When we give our words, we give ourselves away
You should you should have
Thou mayst, you may
So, do you have a backbone kid? To stand out against all those other lives
And the passing of our sixteenth season we feel
We're still drawing our water
From the roots of our family trees
And loves and letters and intentions that lead
To us standing here facing our futures like seeds on a breeze
So, do you have a backbone kid? To stand out against all those other lives
Reading from notes in a moleskin
That you'd written when you were about seventeen
About growing herbs on a window sill
And lighting tea light candles on a balcony
