Inch By Inch Tab

by Dave Mallet


                   
inch by inch, row by row,
              
Gonna make this garden grow,
                          
All it takes is a rake and a hoe,
                      
and a piece Of fertile ground.


                   
inch by inch, row by row,
                 
Someone bess these seeds i sow,
                      
Someone warm them from below,
                          
Till the rain comes tumblin down.


                         
Pullin' weed's and pickin' stones,
             
man is made of dreams and bones,
                      
feel the need to grow my own,
                           
'cause the time is close at hand.


                       
Grain for grain, sun and rain,
             
find my way in nature's chain,
                 
tune my body and my brain
                    
to the music from the land.

and a piece Of fertile ground.

Till the rain comes tumblin down.


                           
Plant your rows straight and long,
               
Temper them with prayer and song,
                        
Mother earth will make you strong
                      
If you give her loving care.


                         
An old crow watching hungrily
                    
From his perch in the yonder tree,
                 
In my garden I'm as free
                        
As the feathered thief up there.
