Goose Eggs - Joanna Newsom[00:00:03]

What we built, at the kiln that won't be stilled[00:00:12]

Did not set well:[00:00:19]

The old veil of desire[00:00:22]

Like vessels that we fired[00:00:25]

Fell thin as eggshells[00:00:29]

And every season, somebody burns[00:00:32]

Downtown, taking turns[00:00:36]

Taking a bus, to take a train and just plain vamoose[00:00:38]

Now the wind blows coals over the hills. Honey[00:00:43]

I've been paying my bills[00:00:47]

But honey it's been a long time since I've come to any use[00:00:49]

And it hurt me bad, when I heard the news[00:00:54]

That you'd got that call, and could not refuse[00:00:57]

A goose, alone, I suppose, can know the loneliness of geese[00:01:00]

Who never find their peace,[00:01:06]

whether north, or south, or west, or east;[00:01:08]

West or east[00:01:13]

And I could never find my way[00:01:16]

To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me[00:01:19]

Till the needing had ceased.[00:01:24]

Recently, a bottle of rye, and a friend, and me[00:01:30]

On our five loose legs[00:01:37]

Had a ramble, and spoke[00:01:40]

Of the scrambling of broken hopes, and goose eggs[00:01:44]

And of a strang, long ago[00:01:51]

Not you, honey! You, I know.[00:01:54]

We just spoke of broken hopes and old strangers[00:01:57]

Now the wind blows coals over the sea. Tell you what, honey:[00:02:02]

You and me better run and see if we can't contain them, first[00:02:06]

But you had somewhere that you had to go[00:02:13]

And you caught that flight out of Covalo[00:02:15]

Now, overhead, you're gunning in those Vs[00:02:18]

Where you had better find your peace[00:02:23]

Whether north, or south, or west, or east[00:02:26]

west or east[00:02:32]

And I had better find my way[00:02:35]

To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me[00:02:37]

At last at least[00:02:43]

What's redacted will repeat[00:02:45]

And you cannot learn that you burn when you touch the heat[00:02:48]

So we touch the heat[00:02:53]

And we cut facsimiles of love and death[00:02:57]

just separate holes in sheets[00:03:02]

Where you cannot breathe, and you cannot see[00:03:05]

And I cannot now, for the life of me, believe our talk[00:03:07]

Our flock had cause to leave[00:03:13]

But do we?[00:03:16]

Do we?[00:03:19]
