Once And Future King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The seed has blown
The bird has flown
The sap returns to earth
The chocking weeds
Spawn their seeds
O sweet garden overgrown There is a promise made
A promise of return
When all is care and pain.
The Once and Future King
Will return to his own
And make the garden bloom again.
