[Verse 1]
Do you want to
go to the riv
er I know this
spot so deep
and green
With wild rasp
berries and ap
ple trees and
rocks to climb
between
Water like a w
ashing machine
Do you want to
dance sometim
es I think I t
ry to hard
I trip on my s
hoes and I tri
p on my shirt
get caught on
the dirt in th
e yard
Caught on the
dirt in the ya
rd. You show m

[Chorus]
Understanding,
patience and
pleasure,
Time and atten
tion, love wit
hout measure
Love without m
easure

Just when I th

[Chorus]

hout measure
Love without m

There's a guid

He quantifies

We lay around

Mom and dad an

oo I could tel
l you anything
I can say anyt
hing. You show
me
[Chorus]
Understanding,

Love without m

[Chorus]
Understanding,
patience and
pleasure,
the eleventh d
imension, free
treasure
Free treasure
Free treasure
