Steel pot hums a heavy tune
Morning comes too fast too soon
Grey light hits the greasy floor
Wait for footsteps by the door
Wait for the water to flow
Wait for the garden to grow
Rusty tin soul in the heat
Waiting for something complete
Coffee burns the plastic cup
Old clock ticks until it's up
Silver spoons in soapy foam
Far away from any home
Kettle screams a steady blast
Holding on to something past
Dry earth waits for every drop
Wishing that the noise would stop
Wait for the water to flow
Wait for the garden to grow
Rusty tin soul in the heat
Waiting for something complete
Iron skin is turning red
Words that never will be said
Cold wind hits the window pane
Looking for a drop of rain
Counter wipes the crumbs away
Starting up another day
Small green leaf begins to rise
Underneath the winter skies
Wait for the water to flow
Wait for the garden to grow
Rusty tin soul in the heat
Waiting for something complete
Sip the coffee slow
Watch the garden grow
Rusty tin soul
Rusty tin soul
