Waltz Of The 101st Lightborne - Joanna Newsom [00:00:00]

I believed they had got what they came for;[00:00:00]

I believed our peril was done[00:00:06]

On the eve of the last of the Great Wars[00:00:12]

After three we had narrowly won[00:00:18]

But the fourth[00:00:23]

It was carelessly done.[00:00:25]

I saw his ship in it's whistling ascension[00:00:29]

As they launched from the Capitol seat[00:00:35]

Swear I saw our mistake[00:00:40]

When the clouds draped like a flag[00:00:43]

Across the backs of the fleet[00:00:47]

Of the Hundred-First Lightborne Elite[00:00:52]

As the day is long[00:00:57]

So the well runs dry[00:01:00]

And we came to see Time is taller[00:01:02]

Than Space is wide[00:01:05]

And we bade goodbye[00:01:08]

To the Great Divide:[00:01:10]

Found unlimited simulacreage to colonize![00:01:13]

But there was a time we were lashed to the prow[00:01:19]

Of a ship you may board, but not steer[00:01:26]

Before You and I ceased to mean Now[00:01:31]

And began to mean only Right Here[00:01:37]

to mean Inches and Miles, but not Years;[00:01:42]

Before Space has a taste of its limits[00:01:47]

And a new sort of coordinate awoke[00:01:52]

Making Time just another poor tenant:[00:01:58]

Bearing weight, taking fire, trading smokes[00:02:04]

In the war between us and our ghosts[00:02:09]

But I saw the Bering Strait and the Golden Gate[00:02:14]

In silent suspension of their golden age![00:02:20]

you can barely tell, if I guard it well[00:02:25]

Where I have been, and seen[00:02:31]

Pristine, unfelled.[00:02:34]

I had a dream that I walked in the garden[00:02:37]

Of Chabot, and those telescope ruins[00:02:44]

It was there that I called to my true love[00:02:49]

Who was pale as millennial moons[00:02:56]

Honey, where did you come by that wound?[00:03:01]

When I woke, he was gone[00:03:06]

And the War had begun[00:03:09]

In eternal return and repeat[00:03:13]

Calling, Where in the hell are the rest of your fellow[00:03:17]

One Hundred-One Lightborne Elite?[00:03:23]

Stormed in the New Highland Light Infantry[00:03:28]

Make it stop, my love![00:03:34]

We were wrong to try[00:03:37]

Never saw what we could unravel[00:03:40]

In traveling light[00:03:42]

or how the trip debrides[00:03:45]

Like a stack of slides![00:03:47]

All we saw was that Time is taller than Space is wide[00:03:50]

That's why we are bound to a round desert island[00:03:56]

'neath the sky where our sailors have gone[00:04:03]

Have they drowned, in those windy highlands?[00:04:08]

Highlands away, my John[00:04:16]

Highlands away, my John[00:05:05]
