A G Was on a flight home from—well, it doesn’t matter F E F G With eleven hours, a million thoughts were gathering A G My mind kept going to my garden of lavender F E F G I wanted to get to them so they wouldn’t die A G When I got home, they were dry as wheat F E F G While the vines thrived around them B-horror film green A G Not sure what my lavender symbolize F E F G But inside my heart cried A G My heart is drawn to the small out-of-the-way things F E F G That I can’t help but to give my focus and attention and care A G Cause they shut off what hijacks my brain F E F G And help to tune out what can cause me pain A G And I care for the animals around my yard F E F G And my sister’s children and I care for my garden A G Swarmed upon by bumblebees F E F G And yellow jackets and wasps and hornets that can dart out and sting A G I see the big orange tabby cat F E F G Getting warm on the cover of the hot tub A G He turns over on his back F E F G Looking for a belly rub A G I see the deer tracks in the snow F E On the animal path F G That leads into my backyard A G I hear the sound of my girlfriend’s car F E F G Coming up the driveway and it fills my heart With joy A G Though I know it will all end someday F E F G And someone else will be sleeping in my mountain house A G Wondering who lived here before F E Just like I sometimes do F G Though I never really cared to explore A G I see the chocolate and peanut butter cat F E I look at him and he looks back F G I snap my fingers and blow him a kiss A G He rubs his head against my hand and we reminisce F E I walk downtown and see the Christmas lights F G Along the highway and how they shine A G And I’m reminded of when I was a child F E F G And how happy I felt when I opened the box and saw a guitar inside A G Was on a flight to somewhere I can’t remember F E F G I feel like I’ve lived so many lives, I can’t put it all together A G Dordrecht, Holland, yeah that was it F E F G I had a nice dinner with a concert promoter and his Korean wife, Suyoung Kim A G Then dropped me off at an old spooky hotel F E F G I felt like an old man in a castle looking over at the canal A G And I went and I played for a crowd but my heart wasn’t there F E F G I came back to my room and slouched in my bed A G And I fell asleep still stewing about my dried up lavender F E F G And I fell asleep in the dark dead night A G And I dreamed of a bluejay picking up a seed F E F G And passing it to another’s beak A G Then watched him soar to another branch F E F G Then a baby possum hissed at me as I crept up on him near a trash can A G And I woke up one rainy morning in Dordrecht, Holland F E F G Then got on a flight for London, England
