lyrics

It’s been a long road, my heart has grown warn and cold
Take me to a peaceful place where I can make my own way

Every spring for a century the sun has risen over this orchard
Affording the most glorious reward, but I am tortured
A rabbit’s in the cabbage again, Ma, he’s at it again
Too many seasons have been spent, it’s never ending
These traps are getting rusty - bones creaking
Futility is killing me - I don’t even have a reason

I’m going on foot standing on solid ground again
My fading glow will soon be reignited

It’s a long war that outlasted my father’s father
This farm will fade into the past without my son and daughter
The water in the well is drying up and they keep coming
Every year no matter what – they’re on to something
I’ve tried to live a simple life, but I’ve made it problematic
Is it really so tragic to have a rabbit in the cabbage?

Simplicity is becoming of me I’ve seen the way that things should be
Not interested in the guidelines, I follow no ones lead
and maybe its because I need to be the better version of me


There’s a brand new world that awaits me once I finally release
All of the things that have restrained me
It’s my turn to run free

You know what, Ma? I’ve grown tired of the fight
I’ve been battling the rabbits - it’s drained away my life
I need to learn to love again, and to stop wasting all my energy
Trying to defeat an enemy who should really be a friend to me
It’s time for me to say goodbye, I don’t need these clothes
I’ll be running with the rabbits when the garden starts to grow

You can find me with the rabbits when the garden starts to grow
