[00:00.927]Sadie, white coat
[00:06.831]You carry me home
[00:13.074]And bury this bone
[00:20.101]And take this pine-cone
[00:27.755]Bury this bone to gnaw on it later
[00:36.375]Gnawing on the telephone
[00:40.607]And 'till then, we pray and suspend
[00:47.321]The notion that these lives do never end
[00:54.217]And all day long we talk about mercy
[01:01.688]Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
[01:08.532]Down in the ditch where I nearly served you
[01:14.932]Up in the clouds where he almost heard you
[01:21.515]And all that we built
[01:24.545]And all that we breathed
[01:27.784]And all that we spilt
[01:30.997]Or pulled up like weeds
[01:34.237]Is piled up in back
[01:37.476]And it burns irrevocably
[01:47.559](And we spoke up in turns
[01:50.511]'Till the silence crept over me.)
[02:00.568]And bless you
[02:03.729]And I deeply do
[02:06.864]No longer resolute
[02:10.991]And I call to you
[02:14.596]But the water
[02:17.339]Got so cold
[02:20.526]And you do lose
[02:23.817]What you don't hold
[02:27.082]This is an old song, these are old blues
[02:34.449]And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
[02:41.998]And the seabirds where the fear once grew
[02:48.660]Will flock with a fury
[02:51.611]And they will bury what'd come for you
[02:55.765]And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
[03:02.348]You and I, and a love so tender
[03:09.244]Stretched on a hoop where I stitch - this adage:
[03:15.644]"Bless our house and its heart so savage."
[03:21.835]And all that I want
[03:25.074]And all that I need
[03:28.313]And all that I've got is scattered like seed
[03:34.922]And all that I knew is moving away from me
[03:48.271](And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed.)
[03:55.690]
[04:01.881]And the mealy worms
[04:05.303]In the brine will burn
[04:08.437]In a salty pyre
[04:11.154]Among the fauns and ferns
[04:15.334]And the love we hold
[04:18.390]And the love we spurn
[04:21.734]Will never grow cold
[04:24.529]Only taciturn
[04:28.604]And I'll tell you tomorrow
[04:35.500]Sadie, go on home now
[04:41.352]And bless those who've sickened below
[04:47.412]And bless us who've chosen so
[04:54.805]And all that I've got
[04:58.227]And all that I need
[05:01.623]I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
[05:08.127]And I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
[05:21.580](So dig up your bone
[05:25.002]Exhume your pine-cone, my Sadie.)
[05:30.253]
