[00:01.133] | The rain falls down on last year's man, |
[00:08.139] | that's a Jew's harp on the table, |
[00:11.493] | that's a crayon in his hand. |
[00:20.08] | And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled |
[00:24.759] | far past the stems of thumbtacks |
[00:28.262] | that still throw shadows on the wood. |
[00:32.816] | And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend |
[00:40.923] | and all the rain falls down amen |
[00:50.977] | on the works of last year's man. |
[01:02.786] | I met a lady,she was playing with her soldiers in the dark |
[01:12.693] | oh one by one she had to tell them |
[01:18.594] | that her name was Joan of Arc. |
[01:26.396] | I was in that army,yes I stayed a little while; |
[01:33.352] | I want to thank you,Joan of Arc, |
[01:42.355] | for treating me so well. |
[01:48.208] | And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight; |
[01:57.710] | all these wounded boys you lie beside, |
[02:03.565] | goodnight,my friends,goodnight. |
[02:13.528] | I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived; |
[02:24.181] | Bethlehem the bridegroom, |
[02:29.282] | Babylon the bride. |
[02:34.84] | Great Babylon was naked,oh she stood there trembling for me, |
[02:45.188] | and Bethlehem inflamed us both |
[02:48.390] | like the shy one at some orgy. |
[02:54.443] | And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil |
[03:04.696] | that I had to draw aside to see |
[03:10.646] | the serpent eat its tail. |
[03:19.550] | Some women wait for Jesus,and some women wait for Cain |
[03:28.355] | so I hang upon my altar |
[03:33.205] | and I voice my acts again. |
[03:39.56] | And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began |
[03:49.259] | when Jesus was the honeymoon |
[03:55.681] | and Cain was just the man. |
[03:59.830] | And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin |
[04:10.551] | that the wilderness is gathering |
[04:15.111] | all its children back again. |
[04:23.962] | The rain falls down on last year's man, |
[04:34.715] | an hour has gone by |
[04:38.816] | and he has not moved his hand. |
[04:45.567] | But everything will happen if he only gives the word; |
[04:55.268] | the lovers will rise up |
[04:58.468] | and the mountains touch the ground. |
[05:04.521] | But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend |
[05:15.272] | and all the rain falls down amen |
[05:21.973] | on the works of last year's man. |
