"I Took All Of My Rings Off" lyrics

"I Took All Of My Rings Off"

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
