Mountain Wood Collection

lyrics

It’s a slow day
But they’ve been like this for some time now
I have my long lens
And I can see if anyone tries to come up my path

I keep my prey in a darkened cage
Because you’re never sure whether it is going to rain
I burn a fire so I can stay outside
I keep the wood in columns of neat piles

I’ve a story about a young man
Who couldn’t read signs so he trespassed on my land
And I could see him combing through trees
Until a column appeared and dropped him to his knees
He retraced his steps and noticed newer things
And I blushed with pride because he never noticed me
But as he went away I started feeling sad
So I ran and ran but couldn’t catch up with that lad

These three things clutter up my mind
Don’t mess with my collection
Don’t mess with my collection
Teeny things all locked up inside
Don’t mess with my collection
Don’t mess with my collection
These three things clutter up my mind
Don’t mess with my collection
Don’t mess with my collection
Teeny things all locked up inside
Don’t mess with my collection
Don’t mess with my collection
