Elephant Key from Lesson by Hiding Places

When there’s no where left for me to dig
And the cogs been hit and the line’s been freed
And the fish have all gone out to sea
To follow their very own king

If I can’t be right and I can’t be wrong
If I can’t remember your favorite song
And the welcoming moments have all disappeared
To be lapped up in tears and in fears

When the butterflies lose their lilac shine
And the critters who crawl all heaven-rise
When the lambs and lions and tigers all bleed
Then the cage is golden and cleaned

Call it young and restless but call it wise
Please be kind with eyes and kind with size
I could never remember who I used to be
Until I met you and knew me
