lyrics

What's the name of that plant
old wives used as poultice to heal broken limbs
a cloud of flowers crowns the stem
what's the name of that plant?

What's the name of that plant
bright yellow spathe and spadix some people eat it when it's young
it sprouts early and it stinks
what's the name of that plant?

Every bouquet has a flower
many branches make a bower
the smallest fish is full of power
and I grow older hour by hour

What's the name of that tree
used as fence posts it won't rot for years
it's got thorns for careless hands
what's the name of that tree

What's the name of that tree
scrape the roots and it smells like rootbeer
they make a spice out of the cry leaves
what's the name of that tree?

Every bouquet has a flower
many branches make a bower
the smallest fish is full of power
and I grow older hour by hour

What's the name of that fish
the Griswold boy caught down by the Waterburg bridge
the story goes that it was 18 inches long
what's the name of that fish?

What's the name of that other fish
lives in muddy water, it's got poison spines on its gills
it swallows the hook without fail
what's the name of that fish?

Every bouquet has a flower
many branches make a bower
the smallest fish is full of power
and I grow older hour by hour

There is a place I long to be
I know the plants I know the fishes and the trees
where I grow stronger as I breathe
tell me why did I leave?

about

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
