Bottom of the Sea Blues

My age is my condition My love is my intent I'll pay time with ageless love I'll forget what came and went For a well full of content There's a space in the heavens There's a hole in my heart There's a lack of fine dining gone to work on my art And a flavour of fullness Is an empty retreat And the restaurant buffet isn't all I can eat My age is my condition My love is my intent I'll pay time with ageless love I'll forget what came and went For a well full of content Colors at dawn swallow me Colors at night set me free Hard work to get up Too quick to get down While love, food, and money Do all the trade in this town The bar's looking hollow And my bones are still white I haven't the patience to stay out tonight My age is my condition My love is my intent I'll pay time with ageless love Or forget what came and went For a well full of content Stuck with thoughts of the buttercups And the bees that do naught But suck on the yellow as nature has taught I'll suck on the colors that I find in the sea The blues and the greens, they don't bother me My age is my condition My love is my intent I'll pay time with ageless love I'll forget what came and went For a well full of content My soul is in the trees It's in the sap that fills the wood It's in the rings that tell her age It's in the smoke that marks the days It's in the fire in my heart It's in the embers in the soot It's in the place I put the ash It's in the soil It's in the grass It's in the mouths of all the herd It's in the beetles and the birds It's in the feathers that I found one morning lying on the ground It's hallelujah, aye and oh It's where I've been and where I go It's in the people that I meet It's kneeling silent at their feet It's ever dutifully yours It stems my pride And opens doors My age is my condition My love is my intent I'll pay time with ageless love I'll forget what came and went For a well full of content Colors at dawn swallow me Colors at night time set me free --- Bottom of the Sea Blues - Johnny Flynn
