I Took All Of My Rings Off

I took all of my rings off

I took all of my rings off

Out of my ears, off of my fingers, and out of my dreams

I opened the window to let in the wind

And get rid of what might've been

But then I put them out in the dirt

Like I was planting a tree

Letting the gold, letting the silver leave

Out of the seed, quickly the evergreen

While surreal it's true

The gods laid down the whole of Earth in silence

Symmetry became the moving lines we call a circle

The world's a ring, the stars are rings

The moon's a ring, the light got in

Lifted the whole Earth to singing

Lifted the whole Earth to singing

Then I put all of my rings back on

I put my rings back on

Then I put all of my rings back on

I put my rings back on

And sang to the birds who lived in the tree

They know all about me

I took all of my rings off

I took all of my rings off

I took all of my rings off
