[Verse 1] You take the long road past the fence line A seed tin knocking softly at your side Mud on the hem, your sleeves rolled to the elbow You know what waits is built one day at a time [Pre-Chorus] No grand promise, no borrowed crown Just both boots steady on the ground [Chorus] Knight of Pentacles, keep your course Patient hands and a quiet force What you tend will take its time Root by root and row by row Knight of Pentacles, don’t be hurried Carry the weight, keep the promise When the harvest finally comes You’ll know the work was yours [Verse 2] A coin rests warm against your glove The horse stands still, ears turned to the rain You count the miles by gates you’ve mended And leave good ground better than you came [Pre-Chorus] No easy answer, no quick escape A careful heart can change its fate [Chorus] Knight of Pentacles, keep your course Patient hands and a quiet force What you tend will take its time Root by root and row by row Knight of Pentacles, don’t be hurried Carry the weight, keep the promise When the harvest finally comes You’ll know the work was yours [Instrumental Break: expressive blues guitar solo trading phrases with dubby psychedelic keys] [Bridge] If the path is slow, let it be slow A promise kept is a thing that grows Not every victory arrives with a flame Some come like rain on a field you reclaimed [Final Chorus] Knight of Pentacles, keep your course Patient hands and a quiet force What you tend will take its time Root by root and row by row Knight of Pentacles, don’t be hurried Carry the weight, keep the promise When the harvest finally comes You’ll know the work was yours [Outro] One more mile, one more seed Steady hands know what they need
