The Story of the Tucks

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

Can I start like that?

Shouldn't start like that

Be patient with me Winnie

I've never told this before

Once there was a man

A man with a wife

And a family

That's Miles and me

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

Get to the part where I fall from the tree

No, you've got it all wrong

Miles, Jesse

Then we found a wood

Yes, we found a wood

Can you guess which wood

Mine?

You're good

Where we found ourselves a clearing

And camped for the night

Just the four of us

Plus the cat and the horse

They play a crucial part

Yes, Miles of course

We slept by a spring near an old ash tree

And thats where I carved a T

Jesse!

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

Except for the horse

Everybody drank

Even the cat

Remember that?

You can lead a horse to water

I think she knows the phrase

So days went by

Then months

Then years

With an ordinary life

So it appears

The old horse died at 25

But the cat was still alive

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

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

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

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

But I still don't understand

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

And that's the story of the Tucks

The end
