Name: Watership Down
Duration: P00H02M54S
Description: I started writing this on my break at work, in the Minneapolis airport, after reading Watership Down. I was 22. I aimed to write a song that could be tied to the book but also make sense out of context. For some weird reason, it's people's favorite when they hear it. I can't for the life of me figure out why.

about

I started writing this on my break at work, in the Minneapolis airport, after reading Watership Down. I was 22. I aimed to write a song that could be tied to the book but also make sense out of context. For some weird reason, it's people's favorite when they hear it. I can't for the life of me figure out why.

lyrics

Lyrics:
I thought the grass was greener
On some other hill
It's still alone at the top

I thought the sky was bluer
In another place
But the clouds don't stop

I have a plan
Or I had plan
I guess it just won't work out
Try as we might
We won't find
Watership Down

I thought the dangers had passed
In some other place
All I'm seeing are snares

I thought our time wasn't up yet
Hands of the clock say (otherwise)
Time never cares

I had to know
And you had to go
This place isn't safe for us now
I hope one day you'll find
Watership Down

Too many obstacles
Too many challenges
You want to go underground
There's no escaping it
There's no erasing it
Fool's though we are
We know better than this

I have a plan
Or I had plan
I guess it just won't work out
Try as we might
We won't find
Watership Down

Find your safe haven
Please find Watership Down
