Caterpillars Songtext
von Black Birch

Caterpillars
We′re living under the Larkspur
Chasing shadows
Paler shades of the colors
Dancing above
Drinking deep from the flowers
We're chewing up

For a
Taste, just don′t swallow
Chew and then spit out
Enough to whet the appetite
Crawl, Sleepy Hollow
Wait for love to come to you
Changing isn't worth the fight


I've been waiting
For someone to tell me
Where I′m going
I′m too busy talking
To be walking
More comfortable crawling
No use growing

When you can
Taste, just don't swallow
Chew and then spit out
Enough to whet the appetite
Crawl, Sleepy Hollow
Wait for God to come to you
Changing isn′t worth the fight

Crawl, Sleepy Hollow
Wait for life to come to you
Changing isn't worth the fight


I′ll never change
That's what we used to say
Easy way out
Learning the hard way
Don′t be afraid
Don't wait another day
This is your life
Don't lose it living safe
Keep reaching out
Out on another limb
Cocooning again
Change in the wild wind

Taste, chew, and swallow
Take the bitter with the sweet
Flutter down and take a drink
Climb, caterpillars
Climb to see what we could be
Nothing really comes for free

Taste, chew, and swallow
Take the bitter with the sweet
Flutter down and take a drink
Climb, caterpillars
Climb to see what we could be
Nothing really comes for free

Taste, chew, and swallow
Take the bitter with the sweet
Flutter down and take a drink
Climb, caterpillars
Climb to see what we could be
Nothing really comes for free

Taste, chew, and swallow
Take the bitter with the sweet
Flutter down and take a drink
Climb, caterpillars
Climb to see what we could be
Nothing really comes for free
