Boxes Songtext
von David Crosby

This time I got nothing to say about it
I′m about as still as water could be
I won't fuck with anyone′s arrangements
Let's open up these boxes and see
Last time the kettle was boiling over
We made a mess of it, I made a mess
Sometimes it's cloudy and you drive yourself away
And away is always something less

All I′m saying
Nothing less than trying will do
All I know
Is that time will tell, time′s a fox
Time might show that there's love in these boxes


I tried to offer to summon my better angels
But they′re over the horizon once again
I already tried, I locked them all away
Up high where the blood runs thin
I stepped across the dreaded green line
And the self-inflicted wounds are slowly healed
I couldn't find the forest, couldn′t see the trees
I'll have to find my way by touch and feel

All I′m saying
Nothing less than trying will do
All I know
Is that time will tell, time's a fox
Time might show that there's love
All I′m saying
Nothing less than trying will do
All I know
Is that time′s a bitch, time's a fox
Time might show that there′s love in these boxes

Love in these boxes
Love in these boxes
