lyrics

I was barely Odd Willow seedling when I got my elephant
Big and pink and kind of sticky
From the mud he's rolling in
And every night I'd take him on a walk
He would stomp and my future grew dark.

There I was braced and pasty
My only friend was my elephant
They all laughed and called me crazy
From the mud they huddled in
So every night I'd take him on a walk
He calmed my fear and taught me not to love.

Weathered tusk and the willow scuffed
Everything it wants is wanted once enough
I'm counting elephants

I could see my lover leaving when she found my elephant
No more peace. No more safekeeping.
She saw the mud we cuddled in
So every night I made her take a walk
I would smile, and my future grew dark.

Now this room, it echoes empty
Except for sounds of elephants
I've made tracks, but they are fleeting
From the door my muddy prints circle back
I'm too afraid to walk
The future's here
And my, it's gotten dark.
