[00:25] |
In our days we will live |
[00:31] |
Like our ghosts will live... |
[00:38] |
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows |
[00:44] |
And folding clothes |
[00:50] |
Like stubborn boys across the road |
[00:57] |
We'll keep everything... |
[01:03] |
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw |
[01:10] |
That took her dog |
[01:15] |
When sister Laurie says, "Amen" |
[01:22] |
We won't hear anything... |
[01:28] |
The ten-car trains will take that word |
[01:35] |
That fledgling bird |
[01:41] |
And the fallen house across the way |
[01:47] |
It'll keep everything... |
[01:53] |
The baby's breath |
[01:57] |
Our bravery wasted and our shame |
[02:07] |
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire |
[02:13] |
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire |
[02:19] |
All the more a pair of underwater pearls |
[02:26] |
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern |
[02:58] |
In our days we will say |
[03:05] |
What our ghosts will say... |
[03:11] |
We gave the world what it saw fit |
[03:17] |
And what'd we get? |
[03:23] |
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes |
[03:29] |
We'll see everything... |
[03:36] |
In the tender shade of the autumn leaves |
[03:43] |
And the buzzard's wing |
[03:49] |
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire |
[03:56] |
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire |
[04:02] |
All the more a pair of underwater pearls |
[04:09] |
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern |
