When I built this town, |
| [00:26.030] |
Burned the old one down |
| [00:29.680] |
And covered myself with the ashes. |
| [00:35.590] |
I was head to foot |
| [00:39.300] |
All black with soot |
| [00:42.340] |
Waiting for the water to make me. |
| [00:52.890] |
And it rained and rained |
| [00:56.890] |
All the clouds could contain |
| [01:00.570] |
And the sound was thunder inside me. |
| [01:06.760] |
And I held my ground |
| [01:10.480] |
While the sky fell down, |
| [01:13.190] |
And my eyes could only stay open. |
| [01:22.200] |
Oh, be my pioneer bride. |
| [01:27.800] |
I know you'll be gone with the morning, |
| [01:33.580] |
But stay for now, while the sun has gone down |
| [01:38.730] |
And the night will be forever be turning. |
| [02:07.060] |
You came in on the breeze, |
| [02:11.620] |
Shook all the trees, |
| [02:15.400] |
Rattled the roots and foundations. |
| [02:21.090] |
And I changed all the locks, |
| [02:25.520] |
And piled the rocks, |
| [02:28.110] |
Tried to make sense of the signs. |
| [02:35.270] |
And I scoured the stones |
| [02:39.680] |
For fragments of bones |
| [02:43.550] |
For the graveyards of those gone before us. |
| [02:49.670] |
And I read all the stars that I collected in jars |
| [02:56.930] |
Waited for someone to save me. |
| [03:05.740] |
Oh, be my pioneer bride. |
| [03:11.440] |
I know you'll be gone with the morning, |
| [03:17.640] |
But stay for now, while the sun has gone down |
| [03:22.910] |
And the night will be forever be turning. |
| [03:52.720] |
You were crazy sometimes, |
| [03:57.400] |
Dirty and kind. |
| [04:01.380] |
I don't know how much I should trust you. |
| [04:07.470] |
But here in this place, I see only your face, |
| [04:15.540] |
And forever will have to be right now. |
