When Was The Last Time - Robin Holcomb[00:00:00]
When was the last time[00:00:17]
You were the witness to[00:00:21]
The blacks of night blurring into blue[00:00:26]
And the weird grey light[00:00:29]
That washes up and over you[00:00:31]
The heavy blanket lifted strange[00:00:34]
And each fresh breath[00:00:37]
So soft feels new[00:00:39]
Can you name that place right now[00:00:42]
Where the dawn came over you[00:00:43]
Or do you feel you live too far[00:00:46]
From anywhere wild[00:00:48]
I sent ahead some money[00:01:06]
So they'd hold me for a room[00:01:07]
With a window that can open[00:01:10]
Not an easy thing to find here[00:01:12]
Uneven snow is falling[00:01:14]
Somewhere in another town[00:01:16]
The fat wet flakes so lazy[00:01:18]
That they suck up all the sound[00:01:20]
Here they're hanging lights[00:01:22]
And bells for Christmas[00:01:23]
Up and down the streets[00:01:24]
It used to be a desert here[00:01:26]
I know[00:01:28]
I tried to go out walking[00:01:29]
Ahead the sky was burning[00:01:31]
Painted snowflakes on the windows[00:01:32]
Snowflakes painted on the schoolyard[00:01:34]
And the little bells all ringing ringing[00:01:37]
When you stop or finally start[00:01:55]
To take the time to notice[00:01:57]
Every child who's wilding[00:02:00]
Or tangled in the mountains[00:02:01]
Is singing[00:02:03]
Running in the shadows[00:02:04]
If you get up in the morning[00:02:06]
O catch me if you can[00:02:07]
Turn each houseyard to a wild place[00:02:12]
The house too big[00:02:14]
The house too big[00:02:15]
Let each family breathe the sweet air[00:02:16]
In the morning[00:02:18]
Pale doomsayers on streetcorners[00:02:20]
These we shall unbalance[00:02:22]
If you get up in the morning[00:02:24]
I will look you in the eye[00:02:26]
Like many who have gone before[00:03:05]
We've moved so many times[00:03:07]
I chose a small town from the map[00:03:09]
It had the same name a mine[00:03:11]
But when we got there[00:03:14]
There was just[00:03:15]
A pole a tree a field a sign[00:03:15]
Followed at slow speed by a patrol car[00:03:18]
And there's no passing[00:03:21]
Lost towns are dying inside of verdant fields[00:03:22]
O I can show you[00:03:25]
Pale ghost signs flapping in the winds[00:03:26]
I will drive slowly[00:03:29]
How will you recognise[00:03:30]
The place of your birth[00:03:32]
O how many will know[00:03:33]
Of your place on this earth[00:03:35]
I am trying to live like I taught my baby[00:03:38]
Trying to live like I taught my baby[00:03:43]
And I'm going to try to live[00:03:46]
Like I learned from my baby[00:03:48]
Try to live like I taught my baby[00:03:51]
Try to live like I taught my baby[00:03:55]
And I'm going to try to live[00:03:59]
Like I learned from my baby[00:04:00]
The sun comes up[00:04:19]
And the world begins[00:04:21]
We used to lie there sleeping[00:04:26]
Try to live like I taught my baby[00:04:36]
Try to live like I taught my baby to[00:04:40]
And I'm going to try to live[00:04:44]
Like I learned from my baby[00:04:46]
