Occident-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.353]Mercy me, the night is long [00:06.883]Take my pen to write you this song [00:15.399]Lord is it harder to carry on [00:22.583]Or to know when you are done? [00:26.893]All my life I felt as though [00:33.267]I'm inside a beautiful [00:41.731]Memory replaying with the sound turned [00:48.940]Down low [00:53.172]Long life, show your face [01:00.251]Slow heart, curb your taste [01:07.278]Smoke me out of my hiding place [01:13.835]Long life, state your case [01:21.045]What in the world are we waiting for? [01:26.922]Building glowing cities along the shore [01:35.438]Where the wind batters in [01:39.252]Baiting my kin like a matador [01:46.932]So much value placed upon [01:53.646]What lies just beyond our plans [02:02.109]Waving my handkerchief [02:05.871]Running along to the end of the sand [02:13.917]Long life, speak your name [02:20.630]So tired of the guessing game [02:27.239]But something is moving just out of frame [02:34.423]Slow heart, brace and aim [02:41.293]Breaching slowly across the sea [02:47.876]One mast - flash like the stinger of a bee [02:55.373]To take you away [02:57.881]A swarming fleet is gonna take you from me [03:07.128]The universe is getting loose [03:13.711]Sodden spread from some leaden disuse [03:22.122]Rushing unhinged towards diminishing lights [03:29.855]Like a headless caboose [03:34.165]I will wait for you 'longside the ocean [03:41.244]And make do with my no-skin [03:48.741]But then long life, will you let me in? [03:55.768]And then slow heart, are you gona know him? [04:03.474]Long life, speak your name [04:09.091]I wait while I decry the wait [04:15.569]And when I die, may I relate [04:21.891]Slow heart, congregate [04:28.082] [04:53.237]To leave your home and your family [04:59.637]For some distortion of property? [05:07.892]Well darling I can't go [05:11.366]But you may stay [05:15.755]Here with me [05:21.162]
