I always knew I'd make an impact on you

Said the hammer to the nail, the droplet to the pail

I was down just as low as I could go

Said the shoe sole to the street, the beach sand to my feet

Always when I want it most does the wind not blow

Does the sea not show me what it holds

When I want the shores to invite me in

Does the tide roll away forever

I sometimes wish I could just get up and leave

Said the pant leg to its seam, my tired head to its dream
