Let It All Hang Out - Karine Polwart

You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago 
You just wanted to see how your garden would grow 
You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed 
You permitted the soil to select its own seed 

But it would be unfair to assume you don’t care 
For you pay great attention to all that goes there 
You simply abstain from a plan or design 

You just let it all hang out and take its own time 
You just let it all hang out and take its own time 

And you follow a thread in a book that you’ve read 
Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said 
You say “It’s all connected, it’s all intertwined 

If you let it all hang out and take its own time 
If you let it all hang out and take its own time” 

Now you don’t move too fast, you make it all last 
You encounter a moment before it is past 
And you say “Walking slow in this world is no crime” 

You just let it all hang out and take its own time 
You just let it all hang out and take its own time …
