How Little I Know

Plaintive skies over open fields
Just enough blue to make a cat's pyjamas
I will receive what this day yields
Muddling through my little closet dramas

Fall has arrived, the leaves tell me so
They're dying while trees continue to grow
I walk through the orange, fiery glow
And realize how little I know

How little I know, how little I know
Where did I come from, where do I go
Am I just reaping the thoughts that I've sown
How little, how little I know

Been a fool, been a wise man too
Most of it by chance, I could never plan it
Fell asleep for a year or two
Dreamed I could dance, found a race and ran it

But now I am still, a leaf on the tree
Just waiting for autumn to come set me free
No longer afraid of the ground down below
I realize how little I know

How little I know, how little I know
Where did I come from, where do I go
Am I just reaping the thoughts that I've sown
How little, how little I know

How little I know, how little I know
Who can explain this magical show
The swell and the fading, the ebb and the flow
How little, how little I know

Stealing away with the wind, I can see
Boundaries turn to gateways
Opening just for me

How little I know, how little I know
Where did I come from, where do I go
Am I just reaping the thoughts that I've sown
How little, how little

How little I know, how little I know
I see the fields and the flight of the crow
The rapid, so swift, in the river, so slow
And how little, how little I know
