Gregory and the Hawk
Oats We Sow
[Verse 1]
Someday I'll toss all your presents
And bury the letters left unsent
[Refrain]
'Cause it's bad to do what's easy just 'cause it's easy
And I want to do what pleases me, but I can't
[Chorus]
And the road, she'd roll
'Round the side of the mountain with nowhere to go
But the heart we know when it's a-lovin'
It's a-leanin' toward bein' alone
[Verse 2]
Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
[Refrain]
'Cause it's bad to do what's easy just 'cause it's easy
And I wanna do what pleases me, but I can't, oh no
[Chorus]
When the crow, he'd mow
Half the grass on the knoll and nowhere to go
But the heart, we know when it's a-needin'
It's careenin' toward bein' alone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And the oats we sow
They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
But the heart, we know when it's askin'
Its exact twin, it will not be alone
