Hop and Tickle Songtext
von Eric Matthews

HOP AND TICKLE
getting to know you well i will
if nothing pulls us we′ll keep it together
tough situation in up cover weather
can i see a winter like fever no pain
rolling quickly to seed of contention
don't stop to give up you′ve already happened


once we did hop and tickle in the early morning
bucking the inside foretelling man
i walk in a straight line
nothing i have is really mine
it's letting go of silly notions
forget the gold of growing old
forget the gold of growing old

cracking is normal, i'm sure that we′ll all fall
to category less thrilling invention
computer lists of deeds sick in detention
run to the yellow birds, grasp the light you find
while beaks hang open likes books in a skyline
bird fly away as if to mock how i′ve lived mine

ah well i'm painting a crooked picture
not sure where to start it′s gonna come out wrong
not at home, it's the people you ring
it′s not the love, it's what′s on your ring
it's what i'm honoring
