Remember The Mountain Bed - Billy Bragg and Wilco[00:00:00]

Do you still sing of the mountain bed[00:00:07]

We made of limbs and leaves [00:00:10]

Do you still sigh there near the sky[00:00:14]

Where the holly berry bleeds [00:00:17]

You laughed as I covered you over with leaves[00:00:22]

Face breast hips and thighs[00:00:26]

You smiled when I said[00:00:31]

The leaves were just the color of your eyes[00:00:33]

Rosin' smells and turpentine smells[00:01:13]

From eucalyptus and pine[00:01:16]

Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed[00:01:21]

Where tangled wood vines twine[00:01:23]

Trees held us in on all four sides[00:01:29]

So thick we could not see[00:01:32]

I could not see any wrong in you[00:01:38]

And you saw none in me[00:01:41]

Your arm was brown against the ground[00:01:55]

Your cheeks part of the sky[00:01:58]

Your fingers played with grassy moss[00:02:03]

As limber you did lie[00:02:05]

Your stomach moved beneath your shirt[00:02:11]

And your knees were in the air[00:02:14]

Your feet played games with mountain roots[00:02:19]

As you lay thinking there[00:02:23]

Below us the trees grew clumps of trees[00:02:32]

Raised families of trees and they[00:02:35]

As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind[00:02:39]

And flung good seeds away[00:02:43]

The sun was hot and the sun was bright down[00:02:47]

In the valley below[00:02:51]

Where people starved and hungry for life[00:02:56]

So empty come and go[00:02:59]

There in the shade and hid from the sun[00:03:08]

We freed our minds and learned[00:03:11]

Our greatest reason for being here[00:03:16]

Our bodies moved and burned[00:03:18]

There on our mountain bed of leaves[00:03:24]

We learned life's reason why[00:03:27]

The people laugh and love and dream[00:03:33]

They fight they hate to die[00:03:35]

The smell of your hair I know is still there[00:03:44]

If most of our leaves are blown[00:03:48]

Our words still ring in the brush and the trees[00:03:52]

Where singing seeds are sown[00:03:54]

Your shape and form is dim but plain[00:03:59]

There on our mountain bed[00:04:03]

I see my life was brightest[00:04:08]

Where you laughed and laid your head[00:04:11]

I learned the reason why man must work[00:04:25]

And how to dream big dreams[00:04:28]

To conquer time and space[00:04:33]

And fight the rivers and the seas[00:04:35]

I stand here filled with my emptiness now[00:04:40]

And look at city and land[00:04:44]

And I know why farms[00:04:49]

And cities are built by hot warm nervous hands[00:04:51]

I crossed many states just to stand here now[00:05:01]

My face all hot with tears[00:05:04]

I crossed city and valley desert and stream[00:05:08]

To bring my body here[00:05:12]

My history and future blaze bright in me[00:05:16]

And all my joy and pain[00:05:20]

Go through my head on our mountain bed[00:05:25]

Where I smell your hair again[00:05:28]

All this day long I linger here and on in through the night[00:05:37]

My greeds desires my cravings hopes[00:05:44]

My dreams inside me fight[00:05:47]

My loneliness healed my emptiness filled[00:05:52]

I walk above all pain[00:05:56]

Back to the breast of my woman and child[00:06:01]

To scatter my seeds again[00:06:04]
