Yesterday, I was in the Splinterlands Tavern and there was talk of ghost beavers. Talk and gifs. It got me thinking about a ghost beavers song, and this is how it ended up. I think it sounds a bit Pinkfloydian.
Lyrics
Ghost beavers in the river
Chewing logs you cannot see
Building dams without a sound
Setting all the water free
You try to steer, you try to fight
Grip the paddle way too tight
But they just gnaw right through the night
Ghost beavers, ghost beavers
Let it flow… let it flow…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
They know… they know…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
Let it flow… let the water rise
Trust the Ghost Beavers
Open up your eyes
Farmer called a helper once
Ghost showed up and worked all day
But when he said “sort these potatoes”
The helper faded clean away
Too many choices, mind goes blank
Everything starts to break
Ghost beavers never think that way
They just build… they just play
Let it flow… let it flow…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
They know… they know…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
Let it flow… watch the river bend
Trust the Ghost Beavers
This is how it ends… and begins again
I don’t know… I don’t know…
And that’s okay
Ghost tail slap in the dark
Washes all the worry away
Everything is fading slow
Snow upon the sand
Let the beavers do their thing
Surrender… take my hand
Let it flow… let it flow…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
They know… they know…
Trust the Ghost Beavers
Let it flow… through the trees and me
Trust the Ghost Beavers
Set your spirit free…
Ghost beavers… ghost beavers…
