May:
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Can I start like that?
Miles:
Shouldn't start like that
May:
Be patient with me Winnie
I've never told this before
Once there was a man
A man with a wife
And a family
Jesse:
That's Miles and me
May:
Jesse, let me tell the story
I don't wanna start a war
We tore from the west to settle in the east
Looking for a farm or some land at least
Jesse:
Get to the part where I fall from the tree
Miles:
No, you've got it all wrong
May:
Miles, Jesse
Then we found a wood
Jesse:
Yes, we found a wood
Can you guess which wood
Winnie:
Mine?
Jesse:
You're good
May:
Where we found ourselves a clearing
And camped for the night
Just the four of us
Miles:
Plus the cat and the horse
They play a crucial part
May:
Yes, Miles of course
We slept by a spring near an old ash tree
Jesse:
And thats where I carved a T
May:
Jesse!
Miles:
In the morning
In the morning
Miles, Jesse, May:
We had no way of knowing
Without even thinking we drank from the spring
Who knew that spring would change everything
May:
Except for the horse
Everybody drank
Even the cat
Miles:
Remember that?
Jesse:
You can lead a horse to water
Miles:
I think she knows the phrase
May:
So days went by
Then months
Then years
With an ordinary life
Miles:
So it appears
May:
The old horse died at 25
Jesse:
But the cat was still alive
Miles:
We weren't changing
. Jesse:
. We weren't changing
. May:
Miles: We weren't changing
We weren't growing
. Jesse:
. We weren't growing
All three:
We had no way of knowing
Nobody was thinking
It's because of the spring
Who knew that spring would change everything
May:
The town began to talk Jesse:
People shyed away Winnie look at me
They were so outraged we hadn't aged Winnie listen here though
Our lives in pious Jesse:
Our looks perverse I survived a tree fall
He survived much worse
Miles:
Shut up Jesse
May: Jesse:
Still we didn't know Yes of course we knew
Didn't know the spring How could we not know though
Was the cause of it
Or where we'd sit on the delacite balance Jesse:
Between a blessing and a curse The greatest family
In the universe
Miles:
Don't confuse the girl
All three:
The cat and the horse
The T on the tree
The drink that changed us eternally
That's our secret keep it locked up tight
Winnie:
But I still don't understand
Miles:
Enough
Alright
We're not aging
We're not growing
And none of us know why
Once upon a time we drank from your spring
And now we'll never die
Jesse:
And that's the story of the Tucks
The end
