[Verse 1] You turn the card beneath the kitchen light A coin rests in a hand of green A garden waits beyond the open gate A first small yes to what might be [Pre-Chorus] Not a promise made of air Something living, something there [Chorus] Ace of Pentacles, seed in the ground A steady beginning, a good thing found Take what is offered, give it some care The road starts here, with both feet there [Verse 2] A key, a plot, a number in your book The patient work that no one sees The kind of wealth that gathers as you build A table set with room to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Keep your hands upon the soil Let the roots reward the toil [Chorus] Ace of Pentacles, seed in the ground A steady beginning, a good thing found Take what is offered, give it some care The road starts here, with both feet there [Instrumental Break: bent-note blues guitar solo trading phrases with dubby psychedelic keys] [Bridge] You don’t have to know the harvest Just decide what you will grow One true step, one honest effort Let the quiet answer show [Final Chorus] Ace of Pentacles, seed in the ground A steady beginning, a good thing found Take what is offered, give it some care The road starts here, with both feet there [Outro] One seed, one hand, one open door Make it real, then make it more
