Lyrics

(Jayne Mitchell)

Some days I am a weary tree
Laying down both leaf and limb
Sleeping ‘til the breath of spring
Sheltering lifeblood deep within

A weary tree, a weary tree
Some days I am a weary tree
These days shall now and then be mine
All in good time, all in good time

Some days I am a reckless rose
Pink and dancing on the breeze
Setting fragrant petals free
Rich with raindrops on my cheeks

A reckless rose, a reckless rose
Some days I am a reckless rose
These days shall now and then be mine
All in good time, all in good time

Some days I am a bitter briar
Tangled, cold as winter’s wood
Poisonous, misunderstood
Sure to pierce the tender foot

Rooted deep in blackest earth
Today I am a yearning vine
Stretching sunward up the wire
Constant green against the sky

A yearning vine, a yearning vine
Today I am a yearning vine
Stretching sunward to the sky
All in good time, all in good time
