| [00:12.71] |
older brother, restless soul, lie down |
| [00:18.60] |
lie for a while with your ear against the earth |
| [00:24.30] |
and you'll hear your sister sleep talking say |
| [00:27.45] |
"your hair is long but not long enough to reach home to me |
| [00:36.43] |
but your beard someday might be" |
| [00:42.85] |
and she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor |
| [00:48.56] |
next to a family portrait drawn when you were four |
| [00:54.67] |
and beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more |
| [01:03.22] |
she'll lay it aside |
| [01:16.46] |
older father, weary soul, you'll drive |
| [01:22.44] |
back to the home you made on the mountainside |
| [01:28.29] |
with that ugly, terrible thing |
| [01:31.13] |
those papers for divorce and a lonely ring |
| [01:36.68] |
a lonely ring |
| [01:40.26] |
sit on your porch |
| [01:42.98] |
and pluck your strings |
| [01:46.93] |
and you'll find somebody you can blame |
| [01:52.68] |
and you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea |
| [02:00.53] |
and you'll find the peace of the Lord. |
| [02:26.34] |
grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly |
| [02:32.26] |
over your life once more before you die |
| [02:38.47] |
since our grandma passed away |
| [02:41.08] |
you've waited for forever and a day |
| [02:46.63] |
just to die |
| [02:50.14] |
and someday soon |
| [02:53.18] |
you will die |
| [02:55.67] |
it was the only woman you ever loved |
| [03:02.14] |
that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young |
| [03:08.33] |
and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood |
| [03:14.61] |
and there's nothing you can do about it now |
