You And Me, Bess-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.614] [00:35.801]We picked our way [00:40.163]Down to the beach [00:44.708]Watching the waves dragging out of our reach [00:52.963]Tangling tails like a sodden sheet [00:59.990]Dangling entrails from a gut of the sea [01:10.100]Hoarding our meals [01:13.731]Alfalfa and rolls [01:18.642]Trying not to catch the cold eye of the gulls [01:26.792]I hope mother nature has not overheard [01:33.793]Though she doles out hurt like a puking bird [01:43.850]la-la-la [02:16.660]You stayed for the winter [02:21.048]No one told us about the laws of the land [02:28.545]I hold my own but you with your hunger [02:36.434]You and the other hand [02:44.219]Make yourself known [02:46.700]And when we were found [02:51.428]I know we both grieved [02:55.451]My heart made the sound of snow falling from eaves [03:03.732]You and me, Bess [03:06.658]We was as thick as thieves [03:10.446]So I swore nonetheless [03:14.808]Up and down, it was only me [03:19.562]So they took me away [03:24.578]And after some time [03:29.175]Studying my case must have made up their minds [03:37.874]By the time you realized I was dying [03:44.013]Must have been too late [03:48.793]I believe you were not lying a little [03:53.940]la-la-la [04:26.697]It is the day I [04:30.668]Wait with my ears cocked up like a gun [04:38.322]Like every day of course [04:41.404]Yanked by my wrists to the [04:45.348]Sugar front court yard [04:48.248]Now tell me what have I done? [04:53.316]Seems I have stolen a horse and I [04:56.790]Step to the gallows [05:00.996]Who do you think that you are? [05:08.441]Arching your hooves like a crane in the shallow [05:15.572]Gutters that line the boulevards [05:23.304]Powdered with folks who just stare as I hang [05:30.671]It's all the same [05:34.668]Kindness comes over me [05:38.116]What was your name? [05:42.269]It makes no difference I'm glad that you came [05:49.348]Forever I'll listen to your glad neighing [05:57.499]la-la-la
