The Moss - Cosmo Sheldrake

[00:00.63]Legend has it that the moss grows
[00:03.06]on the north side of the trees
[00:06.20]
[00:08.08]Legend has it that when the rain comes down,
[00:11.05]all the worms come up to breathe
[00:13.76]
[00:15.60]Legend has it that when the sunbeams come,
[00:18.50]
[00:19.55]the plants, they eat them with their leaves
[00:21.48]
[00:23.12]Legend has it that the world spins
[00:25.37]round on an axis of 23 degrees
[00:28.64]
[00:30.18]But have you heard the story of
[00:31.87]the rabbit in the moon
[00:33.27]
[00:33.94]Or the cow that hopped the planets
[00:35.49]while straddling a spoon
[00:36.90]
[00:37.57]Or she, who leapt up mountains,
[00:39.37]while whistling up a tune
[00:40.64]
[00:41.20]And swapped her songs with swallows
[00:42.63]
[00:43.16]while riding on a broom
[00:44.41]
[00:44.95]Well, we can all learn things both many and a-few
[00:48.16]
[00:48.67]From that old hunched woman
[00:50.00]
[00:50.63]who lived inside a shoe
[00:51.83]
[00:52.49]Or the girl that sang by day
[00:54.16]and by night she ate tear soup
[00:56.03]Or the man who drank too much
[00:57.89]and he got the brewers' droop
[00:59.24]
[01:00.14]Come listen up all ye fair maids to
[01:02.27]how the moral goes
[01:03.03]
[01:03.80]Nobody knew and nobody knows
[01:06.78]
[01:07.64]How the pobble was robbed
[01:09.20]of his twice five toes
[01:10.62]
[01:11.28]Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose
[01:14.49]
[01:15.09]Or how the jumblies
[01:16.38]went to sea in a sieve that they rowed
[01:18.19]
[01:18.84]And came to shore by the chankly bore
[01:20.48]where the bong trees grow
[01:21.99]
[01:22.54]Where the jabberwocky's
[01:23.56]
[01:24.19]small green tentacles do flow
[01:25.64]
[01:26.23]And the quanglewangle plays in the rain
[01:28.70]and the snow
[01:29.40]
[01:30.02]But have you heard the story
[01:31.69]of the rabbit in the moon
