The Bird in the Gravel (LP Version) - Jane Siberry[00:10:34]

The master:[00:10:34]

I was dreaming in the steam room[00:10:34]

Everything was so clear for a minute[00:10:34]

And i thought...[00:10:34]

And the dripping tiles and...[00:10:34]

And i say i'll confess everything[00:10:34]

Yes. i own this land[00:10:34]

I own these forests surrounding my...my estate[00:10:34]

This is my tea coming[00:10:34]

Everything i can-i confess[00:10:34]

The servant:[00:10:34]

Bend[00:10:34]

Now i have the bend[00:10:34]

The best i ever[00:10:34]

Place the tea just so[00:10:34]

Then release and turn[00:10:34]

Oh no not yet[00:10:34]

Then release then go[00:10:34]

Better try again[00:10:34]

Looking at me he's[00:10:34]

Wait til tomorrow[00:10:34]

Don't want him to know[00:10:34]

Next time he orders tea[00:10:34]

Release and turn[00:10:34]

Turn and limp away[00:10:34]

Turn and limp away[00:10:34]

The maid:[00:10:34]

I was walking through the forest[00:10:34]

On my break today[00:10:34]

I had this funny feeling[00:10:34]

Something was going to change[00:10:34]

I was walking through the dry leaves[00:10:34]

It was very strange[00:10:34]

They hadn't changed their colour[00:10:34]

All the leaves were green[00:10:34]

I don't mind when it's over[00:10:34]

I don't mind when it's all done[00:10:34]

It's just the moments in between[00:10:34]

Just before it's gone[00:10:34]

Something's going to happen[00:10:34]

Something's going to change[00:10:34]

I know i know i know...[00:10:34]

The pantry:[00:10:34]

And when autumn comes[00:10:34]

Well, there's lots of work to do[00:10:34]

Bill-that means you[00:10:34]

Time to clean the kettles and the pots on the wall[00:10:34]

Pickling and preserving all the vegetables[00:10:34]

Stop kicking the apples[00:10:34]

Are we pickling this year?[00:10:34]

Yes-you know we are[00:10:34]

And when autumn comes[00:10:34]

Well, there's lots of work to do[00:10:34]

Bill-that means you[00:10:34]

Time to get the twigs up-you know, all those stick things[00:10:34]

Time to trim back the roses so next year even more grow[00:10:34]

Does it hurt them to do that?[00:10:34]

Does it hurt them? no.[00:10:34]

(truck driver - francesco)[00:10:34]

And when autumn comes[00:10:34]

Well, deliveries start to go[00:10:34]

Here he is now[00:10:34]

Down into the valley to the market he goes[00:10:34]

Down along the tiny roads that wind along the vineyards[00:10:34]

And people lean on their rakes and they say hello[00:10:34]

Hello there francesco[00:10:34]

Francesco there hello[00:10:34]

The bird:[00:10:34]

(high sustain)[00:10:34]

A boy coming home from lesson[00:10:34]

Another boy:[00:10:34]

And those are my swans, believe me...[00:10:34]

There's no light.[00:10:34]

And there isn't because...[00:10:34]

It's so dark.[00:10:34]

Because it's so dark.[00:10:34]

Because it's so dark.[00:10:34]

The maid:[00:10:34]

I was walking through the dry leaves[00:10:34]

It was very strange[00:10:34]

The leaves fell without changing[00:10:34]

No yellows and no reds[00:10:34]

Something's going to happen[00:10:34]

Something's going to change[00:10:34]

And just then as i looked up[00:10:34]

I remembered what you said[00:10:34]

I'm crying because i love you[00:10:34]

I know that things must change[00:10:34]

I can't be there when you leave[00:10:34]

What if you're afraid[00:10:34]

You said something about the leaving[00:10:34]

The moments in between[00:10:34]

The yawning when the world shifts[00:10:34]

The clanging of the trains[00:10:34]

And a dog sits up and growls[00:10:34]

And a cow begins to bawl[00:10:34]

And a nun nearby stops to listen[00:10:34]

Cross herself and then move on[00:10:34]

I was laughing in the forest[00:10:34]

I fell down in the leaves[00:10:34]

And i watched the trees above me[00:10:34]

Crossing in the breeze[00:10:34]

I love the bare branches[00:10:34]

I love the healing bells[00:10:34]

The bareness in the last sun[00:10:34]

The greyness and the gold[00:10:34]

And a flock of geese flew over[00:10:34]

And i laughed harder still[00:10:34]

I laughed til i was heaving[00:10:34]

Then everything was still[00:10:34]

The servant:[00:10:34]

Bend[00:10:34]

Now i have the bend[00:10:34]

Place the tea just so[00:10:34]

Then release and turn[00:10:34]

Oh not yet[00:10:34]

Turn away then go[00:10:34]

Better try again[00:10:34]

He's looking at me[00:10:34]

Wait until tomorrow[00:10:34]

Don't want him to know[00:10:34]

Next time[00:10:34]

Time he orders tea[00:10:34]

Release and turn[00:10:34]

Turn and limp away...[00:10:34]

Limp away just go[00:10:34]

Turn away just go[00:10:34]

Just go...[00:10:34]

Just go...[00:10:34]

Just go...[00:10:34]
