lyrics

O, gangly cypress pine
You overgrown lichen
Inhale the jasmine vine
You're my favorite smell and

You grabbed a hold of me
In the misty morning
You grabbed a hold of me
All your mommin' and poppin'

I came here to escape
The life of a mailman
They worked me like a slave
I was coming home broken

They grabbed a hold of me
Over 60 hours a week
They grabbed a hold of me
I was kicking and screaming

Om shanti

In between is among
And enough is enough

I never thought I'd be
In love with a felon
You taught me to believe
That there's power in presence

You grabbed a hold of me
With your squeaky door laugh
And you grabbed a hold of me
Falling out of a handstand

Om shanti

In between is among
And enough is enough
