Steward's Log - Strawberry Fields Still Growing | Entry No. 09

“Strawberry Fields Still Growing” Verse 1 We pulled them up by the handfuls Roots still holding the rain Cold dirt still in the shadow Then the light came back again We thought we kept it in order Lines we drew last fall But life don’t stay where you place it It don’t stay small Pre-Chorus Something’s moving underneath In patterns we don’t know A whisper in the breathing loam A tremor in the glow Chorus Strawberry fields still growing Further than we planned We were just out here tending Now it’s out of our hands Everything waking slowly Then all at once it runs Strawberry fields still growing Reaching for the sun Verse 2 Fifteen degrees in the morning Eighty by the day Green pushing through the silence Like it couldn’t wait We saw it shift in the microscope Worlds where there were none Quiet things turning over One by one Pre-Chorus If you try to hold it still It slips right through Like colors bleeding from a dream That once believed in you Chorus Strawberry fields still growing Thicker than before We thought we knew the rhythm Now we’re not so sure Everything waking hungry Asking to be fed Strawberry fields still growing Spreading where we tread Bridge We don’t control the timing We just show up and see Some things you try to protect Still get set free Hands in the soil, just listening Letting it be what it is Lost somewhere between the questions And what we think this is Break (Instrumental / Vocal Atmosphere) Ahh… Ahh… Still growing… Final Chorus Strawberry fields still growing Quiet but alive We’re just here to notice Not to decide Everything waking hungry Under sky and ground Strawberry fields still growing Circling us around Outro We thought we were leading Now we’re following Echoes in the furrows Sing the seeds we’re sowing
