Everything Is Connected and Everything Matters - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)[00:00:00]
(a Temporary Solution to a Permanent Problem)[00:00:01]
On a late spring day[00:01:59]
When summer began to take shape[00:02:04]
You lowered your head to bear an[00:02:09]
Uneven compromise[00:02:14]
How your voice held steel[00:02:18]
Make sharp by the sound of it aloud[00:02:23]
You were drunk on each syllable[00:02:27]
You could not even hear what it sang[00:02:31]
When you were young[00:02:36]
You spent your summers in Maine[00:02:39]
And stripped of the friends you made[00:02:46]
You gorged yourself on frost and Hemingway[00:02:50]
When you came back to Michigan[00:02:55]
You would walk with words you did not speak[00:02:59]
And dress yourself with an air we couldn't reach[00:03:06]
So when you go back to Maine[00:03:15]
I hope that you stay[00:03:20]
Where you have corned truth and beauty[00:03:24]
And each borrowed refrain you sing you sing[00:03:33]
You sing[00:03:39]
Will sound the same[00:03:43]
To the lonely lonely sea[00:03:46]
