Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) - The Decemberists[00:00:00]
Heart-carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet[00:00:09]
A sweetheart left behind[00:00:13]
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas[00:00:17]
That's where my true love lies[00:00:21]
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow[00:00:34]
Sings upon the birch bough high[00:00:37]
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils[00:00:42]
All a'chew upon your bones so dry[00:00:46]
But when the sun breaks[00:01:07]
To no more bulletin battle-cry[00:01:11]
Then will you make a grave[00:01:15]
For I will be home then[00:01:19]
I will be home then[00:01:24]
I will be home then[00:01:28]
I will be home then[00:01:32]
Then[00:01:37]
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee[00:01:46]
Made a seam to hem me in[00:01:50]
There at the fair when our eyes caught careless[00:01:54]
Got my heart right pierced by a pin[00:01:58]
But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas[00:02:11]
All the bellies and the bones and the bile[00:02:14]
Though I lingered here with the blankets barren[00:02:19]
And my own belly big with a child[00:02:23]
But when the sun breaks[00:02:45]
To no more bulletin battle-cry[00:02:49]
Then will you make a grave[00:02:53]
For I will be home then[00:02:57]
I will be home then[00:03:01]
I will be home then[00:03:05]
I will be home then[00:03:10]
Stems and bones and stone walls too[00:03:16]
Could keep me from you[00:03:21]
Scaly skin is all too few[00:03:25]
To keep me from you[00:03:29]
But oh my love though our bodies may be parted[00:03:40]
Though our skin may not touch skin[00:03:44]
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow[00:03:48]
I will come on the breath of the wind[00:03:52]
