"Free Treasure" lyrics - ADRIANNE LENKER

ADRIANNE LENKER
"Free Treasure"

Do you wanna go to the river?
I know this spot so deep and green
With wild raspberries and apple trees
And rocks to climb between
Water like a washing machine

Do you wanna dance?
Sometimes I think I try too hard
I trip on my shoes and I trip on my shirt
Get caught on the dirt in the yard
Caught on the dirt in the yard

[Chorus:]
You show me
Understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure
Love without measure

You're cooking dinner
It's gettin' around half-past-ten
I haven't smelled food so good
Since I don't know where and I don't know when
Where and I don't know-

Stove light glows like a fire
We're sitting on the kitchen floor
Just when I thought I couldn't feel more
I feel a little more
I feel a little-

[Chorus:]
Understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure
Love without measure

There's a guy at the nape of my neck
And he hangs out there all day
He quantifies my every thought
And tells me not to play
He tells me not to play

We lay around for hours
Talk about childhood pain
Mom and dad and past lives too
I can tell you anything
I can say anything

[Chorus:]
You show me
Understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure
Love without measure
Show me
Understanding
Patience and pleasure
The eleventh dimension
Free treasure
Free treasure
Free treasure
