Leaving the City - Joanna Newsom[00:00:00]
Hay and a clean stall[00:00:13]
And ivy on a garden wall[00:00:17]
And a sign saying sold[00:00:23]
And an old coat for the bad cold[00:00:27]
I believe in you[00:00:43]
Do you believe in me?[00:00:46]
What do you want to do?[00:00:50]
Are we leaving the city?[00:00:52]
On the black road[00:00:56]
Through the gold fields[00:01:00]
While the fiends are plowed[00:01:03]
Towards what we are allowed[00:01:07]
The bridle bends in idle hands[00:01:22]
And slows your canter to a trot[00:01:25]
We mean to stop in increments[00:01:27]
But can't commit, we post and sit in impotence[00:01:30]
The harder the hit, the deeper the dent[00:01:34]
We seek our name, we seek out fame[00:01:36]
In our credentials, paned in glass[00:01:39]
Trying to master incidentals[00:01:41]
Bleach a collar, leech a dollar[00:01:44]
From our cents[00:01:46]
The longer you live, the higher the rent[00:01:47]
Beneath a pale sky[00:01:50]
Beside the red barn[00:01:54]
Below the white clouds[00:01:56]
Is all we are allowed[00:02:00]
Here, the light will seep[00:02:04]
And the scythe will reap[00:02:08]
And spirit will rend[00:02:12]
In counting toward the end[00:02:15]
In December of that year[00:02:24]
The word came down that she was here[00:02:27]
The days were shorter[00:02:29]
I was sure if she came round[00:02:30]
I'd hold my ground[00:02:33]
I can do what they alluded to[00:02:34]
A change that came to pass[00:02:37]
And spring did range, weeping grass[00:02:39]
And sleepless broke[00:02:42]
Itself upon my winter glass[00:02:43]
And I could barely breathe for seeing[00:02:46]
All the splintered light that leaked[00:02:48]
A fish is fleeting, launched in flight[00:02:51]
Unstaunched daylight, brightly bleeding[00:02:53]
Bleached the night with dawn deleting[00:02:56]
In that high sun after our good run[00:02:59]
When the spirit bends[00:03:06]
Beneath knowing it must end[00:03:11]
And that is all I want here[00:03:14]
To draw my gaunt spirit to[00:03:18]
Beneath what I am allowed[00:03:25]
Beneath what I am allowed[00:03:29]
