Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) (Home Demo) - The Decemberists (十二月党)/Carson Ellis[00:00:00]
Written by:Colin Meloy[00:00:02]
Heart carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet[00:00:10]
A sweetheart left behind[00:00:14]
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas[00:00:19]
That's where my true love lies[00:00:23]
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow[00:00:36]
Sings upon the birch bow high[00:00:40]
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils[00:00:45]
All a-chew on your bones so dry[00:00:49]
And when the sun breaks to no more bullets in battlecreek[00:01:12]
Then will you make a grave[00:01:20]
For I will be home then[00:01:24]
I will be home then[00:01:28]
I will be home then[00:01:33]
I will be home then[00:01:37]
Then[00:01:42]
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee[00:01:51]
Made a seam to hem me in[00:01:55]
There at the fair when our eyes caught careless[00:02:00]
Got my heart right pierced by a pin[00:02:04]
But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas[00:02:17]
All the bellies and the bones and the bile[00:02:21]
No I lingered here with the blankets barren[00:02:26]
And my own belly big with child[00:02:30]
And when the sun breaks to no more bulletin battle cry[00:02:52]
Then will you make a grave[00:03:01]
For I will be home then[00:03:05]
I will be home then[00:03:09]
I will be home then[00:03:13]
I will be home then[00:03:17]
Stems and bones and stone walls too[00:03:24]
Could keep me from you[00:03:30]
This skein of skin is all too few[00:03:33]
To keep me from you[00:03:38]
Oh my love though our bodies may be parted[00:03:49]
Though our skin may not touch skin[00:03:53]
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow[00:03:58]
I will come on the breath of the wind[00:04:02]
