Whose chickens are those in my yard? | |
They pick at every shiny thing, | |
Stitching down this earth so cold and hard, | |
Low and tight across my wings, | |
And when they're calling over me, | |
Their unholy, fitful song … | |
Odetta, Odetta | |
Please carry me along | |
My bones they rumble and time will shift | |
On every plan I have laid, | |
Clouds will crack and spill, decent and lift, | |
Sharpen this light into a blade | |
And split the limb beneath me | |
That holds me off the ground … | |
Odetta, Odetta | |
Please come and take me down | |
Nothing is now as it appears | |
And there is no law speaks to that, | |
Just and ocean's roar between my ears | |
And down here deep inside my hat | |
Where broken ships still drift and pine | |
For some new world reverie … | |
Odetta, Odetta | |
Please come discover me |
