the farmer drove his tractor
where the soil had been tilled
planting corn in rank and file
from the silo to the lumber mill
he rode along in silence
as looked out past the honeysuckle field
watched the water turn
turn the water wheel
started thinking about his daughter's affection
her reaction of disdain
the day he replaced the blue hydrangea
with the climbing grain
while her disappointed sister
looked on quiet as the snow
knowing well that those that know don't talk
and those that talk don't know

but she couldn't help but sing

the tortoise in the wheelchair
wrapped his forehead in a bandage
with a cast they made from plaster
for his phony broken leg
so he'd get pushed around the sidewalk
by the zookeeper's assistant
with the hummingbird obeserving
from behind the yellow flower
and he flapped his tiny wings
they moved so fast you couldn't see them
with resentment for the tortoise
which was clear by his expression
but the tortoise turned and smiled
with a peacefulness which proved 
that there's a movement in our stillness
and however much we move

we're bound to [bad word] still
 [bad word] tortoise, standing still
go hummingbird, my will [bad word] tortoise, stumbling blind
go hummingbird, my eyes [bad word] tortoise, empty hand
go hummingbird, my plan [bad word] tortoise, undefined
go hummingbird, my mind [bad word] tortoise, letting go
go hummingbird, i know [bad word] tortoise [bad word] and die
go hummingbird, my I
goodbye, I
goodbye, I
bye, bye, bye
