i took all of my rings off

Feist

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 seeds, 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
