Sticks & Stones - Joe Henry[00:00:00]
Gather wood against the weather[00:00:42]
Pile up stones against the sky[00:00:47]
String of lights like pearls between us[00:00:52]
And the heavens' blackest eye[00:00:57]
Tell the hour[00:01:02]
Go take another[00:01:03]
Go down Moses[00:01:06]
Without a fuss[00:01:08]
Given to the[00:01:11]
Lawless water[00:01:13]
And send that later boat for us[00:01:15]
Sticks and stones[00:01:20]
Blood ash and bone[00:01:22]
I shake the tree[00:01:25]
Swim out alone[00:01:27]
Turnin' over the dark Missouri[00:01:30]
Now that every new leaf I had[00:01:34]
Is gone[00:01:38]
Moon's near empty a swinging saber[00:01:58]
Keeping every prayer at bay[00:02:03]
At the throat of love for ransom[00:02:08]
From the dull approaching day[00:02:12]
There's no law[00:02:17]
That rides this border[00:02:18]
No fences stretch this far[00:02:21]
To show[00:02:24]
How times will side[00:02:26]
Against another[00:02:28]
As one arrives and others go[00:02:30]
Sticks and stones blood ash and bone[00:02:36]
I shake the tree swim out alone[00:02:40]
Turnin' over the dark Missouri[00:02:45]
Now that every new leaf I had is gone[00:02:48]
Whores are dressed in fire and feathers[00:03:13]
On a beach sit in a row[00:03:17]
Climb the bank through scrub and tinder[00:03:22]
Disappear where rabbits go[00:03:27]
They had nothing[00:03:31]
That I needed[00:03:34]
But I gave them[00:03:36]
All I had[00:03:38]
Just to share[00:03:40]
Some dirt between them[00:03:42]
As we waited smoked and laughed[00:03:45]
Sticks and stones blood ash and bone[00:03:50]
I shake the tree swim out alone[00:03:54]
Turnin' over the dark Missouri[00:03:59]
Now that every new leaf I had is gone[00:04:03]
Now that every new leaf I had is gone[00:04:12]
Now that every new leaf I had is gone[00:04:21]
