Free Treasure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you wanna go to the river?
I know this spot so deep and green
With the wild raspberries and apple trees
And rocks to climb between
Water like a washing machine

[Verse 2]
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’ve shown me understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure
Love without measure

[Verse 3]
You’re cooking dinner
It’s getting ’round half past ten
I haven’t smelt food so good since I don’t know
Wherе and I don’t know when
Where and I don’t know—

[Verse 4]
Stovе light glowed like a fire
We’re sittin’ on the kitchen floor
Just a-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

[Verse 5]
There’s a god 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 (This song)

[Verse 6]
We lay around for hours
An’ talk about childhood pain
Mom and dad and past lives too
That I can tell you anything
I can say anything

[Chorus]
You’ve shown me understanding
Patience and pleasure
Time and attention
Love without measure
Love without measure
Shown me understanding
Patience and pleasure
The eleventh dimension
Free treasure
Free treasure
Free treasure
