The White Tent The Raft (LP版) - Jane Siberry[00:00:00]

There's a red leaf[00:00:00]

That falls from a purple tree[00:00:01]

It falls it floats down[00:00:03]

One red leaf against a clear blue sky[00:00:09]

It floats down[00:00:12]

Past the marbles in the clearing[00:00:16]

Beneath the geese in flight[00:00:18]

To the darkening river[00:00:21]

In the autumn light[00:00:23]

Where it touches down[00:00:25]

Oh like a great bird landing[00:00:30]

Tears of autumn[00:00:36]

There's a white tent that sits[00:00:41]

In the middle of a raft[00:00:43]

That floats down[00:00:45]

Floats down the middle of a river[00:00:50]

Of a stream floating down[00:00:53]

And the tears streaming[00:00:58]

From the mind's eye[00:01:00]

Streaming back beyond[00:01:02]

The white sheets that flap and fly[00:01:03]

Oh tears of wanting[00:01:07]

The white tent the raft[00:01:23]

The white tent the raft[00:01:27]

The white tent the raft[00:01:31]

Fists and chests[00:01:35]

Oh Mango in the clearing[00:01:42]

It's his leg or something[00:01:46]

Waiting[00:01:50]

Everything would be alright[00:01:52]

Watching the trees[00:01:58]

Then his toes[00:02:01]

Then the trees[00:02:04]

Deeper into the jungle[00:02:09]

And leaves him there[00:02:10]

We turn off the tv[00:02:13]

Never forget that night[00:02:16]

Never heard you[00:02:23]

Couldn't sleep[00:02:26]

Hotel window[00:02:27]

Get up to those dark peaks[00:02:29]

Everything would be[00:02:31]

The white tent the raft[00:02:34]

The white tent the raft[00:02:38]

The white tent the raft[00:02:42]

Fists and chests[00:02:46]

And when it's not our great overcoat[00:02:52]

It's a grey and yellow dress[00:02:55]

So beautiful the bees[00:02:58]

They followed you through the mall[00:03:00]

To the clearing in the wilderness[00:03:02]

And you lay down and I picked you up[00:03:07]

And I said you must never leave[00:03:10]

Your beautiful hands[00:03:15]

Like knitting needles[00:03:18]

And I said it's Jane it's me[00:03:18]

She said[00:03:23]

When you go that's when you go[00:03:23]

Lighten up and pass the cup[00:03:27]

Fifty bucks and that's all you got[00:03:32]

Yeah I love you[00:03:36]

There's a white tent that sits[00:03:40]

In the middle of a raft that floats down[00:03:42]

Floats down the middle of a river[00:03:48]

Of a stream floating down[00:03:51]

And the tears streaming[00:03:56]

From the mind's eye[00:03:58]

Streaming back beyond the white sheets[00:04:00]

That flap and fly[00:04:02]

Oh tears of hardness[00:04:05]

The white tent the raft[00:04:21]

The white tent the raft[00:04:25]

The white tent the raft[00:04:29]

Fists and chests[00:04:34]

Found the snake in the clearing[00:04:39]

And it tried to kill him of course[00:04:41]

But then only after it tried to get away[00:04:44]

He said[00:04:50]

Youse the meanest ugliest low down[00:04:51]

And he cursed and swore[00:04:55]

Gonna shoot the damn thing[00:04:57]

I watched from the raft[00:04:59]

And I withdrew my scent[00:05:01]

It's not hard to kill a snake[00:05:04]

It's not hard[00:05:06]

It's not hard to kill a snake[00:05:08]

It's not that hard[00:05:10]

The white tent the raft[00:05:13]

The white tent the raft[00:05:17]

The white tent the raft[00:05:21]

Fists and chests[00:05:25]

What do you mean I love you[00:05:30]

Stop saying I love you[00:05:31]

I don't know what you mean anyway[00:05:33]

I don't know what love is and[00:05:38]

You don't know what love is and[00:05:40]

It doesn't change anything anyway[00:05:42]

Ah who cares[00:05:45]

Who gives a[00:05:48]

Because all I see[00:05:50]

Is more hate[00:05:54]

More fear[00:05:56]

Less light than before me[00:05:59]

The white tent the raft[00:06:03]

The white tent the raft[00:06:06]

The white tent the raft[00:06:11]

Fists and chests[00:06:15]

There's a thousand white tents[00:07:09]

On a thousand rafts all floating down[00:07:10]

There's a thousand fists[00:07:17]

And a thousand chests[00:07:18]

They come thundering down[00:07:20]

And the tears streaming[00:07:25]

From a thousand eyes[00:07:27]

Streaming back beyond the white sheets[00:07:29]

That flap and fly[00:07:32]

Oh tears of hunger[00:07:34]

There's a white tent that blows[00:07:50]

In the middle of a raft[00:07:52]

That floats down down the middle[00:07:54]

Of a long and lonely dream[00:07:59]

Or is it lovely can't always tell[00:08:02]

And the clearings pass[00:08:06]

Like blowing scarves[00:08:09]

The slightly familiar[00:08:11]

The slightly apart[00:08:13]

And the river never runs dry[00:08:21]

Oh tears of open[00:08:27]

The white tent the raft[00:08:32]

The white tent the raft[00:08:36]

And one red leaf[00:08:40]

For my love[00:08:45]

For your love[00:08:49]
