Everything Stays

let's go in the garden

-4* -5* 6* 7* -8* -7*
you'll find something waiting

-7* 7* -7* -8* -7* 7*
right there where you left it

6* -5* -4* -5* -3*
lying up-side down


-4* -5* -4* -5* -4* 3*
when you finally find it

-4* -5* 6* 7* -8* -7*
you'll see how it's faded

-7* 7* -7* -8* -7* 7*
lighter on the bottom

6* -5* -4* -5*  6* -3*
when you turn it around


-4* -3* 3* -3*
everything stays

-4* -3* 3* 3* 2*
right where you left it

3* -3* 3* 3
everything stays

6 5 -3* -3* 3*
but it still changes


-4* -3* 3* 3* 2*
ever so slightly

-4 -3* 3* 3* -1*
daily and nightly

-4* -5* 6* -3*
in little ways

4* -5* -4* 4* 4*
when everything stays
