Take Its Own Time - Karine Polwart

You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago

You just wanted to see how your garden would grow

You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed

You permitted the soil to select its own seed

But it would be unfair to assume you donЂ™t care

For you pay great attention to all that goes there

You simply abstain from a plan or design

You just let it all hang out and take its own time

You just let it all hang out and take its own time

And you follow a thread in a book that youЂ™ve read

Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said

You say ЂњItЂ™s all connected, itЂ™s all intertwined

If you let it all hang out and take its own time

If you let it all hang out and take its own timeЂќ

Now you donЂ™t move too fast, you make it all last

You encounter a moment before it is past

And you say ЂњWalking slow in this world is no crimeЂќ

You just let it all hang out and take its own time

You just let it all hang out and take its own time Ђ¦
