Esme-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.614]I can feel a difference [00:12.186]Today, a difference [00:19.317]All of us in our tents [00:30.472]Fearing god like a mistress [00:38.857]We lay on the rocks in the sun [00:49.724]Watching you and your mama row in [00:57.979]I sat up and blinked when you appeared [01:08.846]So pale you were nearly clear [01:17.022]Later I stumbled to my bed [01:27.131]All alone in the branches [01:35.282]I laid in the dark thinking about [01:44.947]All of my friends and their changes [01:54.064]And I do not know [01:57.486]If you know just what you have done [02:09.659]You are the sweetest one [02:18.148]I have ever laid my eyes upon [02:24.627]It's a beautiful town [02:28.650]With the rain coming down [02:33.352]Blackberry, rosemary [02:37.479]Jimmy-crack-corn [02:41.058]You've got the run of the place [02:44.637]Now that you're running around [02:48.842]And may kindness [02:52.552]Kindness, kindness abound [02:58.482]In this hour of our lives [03:06.815]Hour of effortless plenty [03:13.502]How do we know which parts of our hearts want what [03:22.410]With such base generosity? [03:29.202]Taking so many photographs, so amazed! [03:36.124]We've never seen a baby so newlyborn [03:44.614]And when the bulbs do flash as bright as morning [03:50.909]The crowd keeps on gathering like an electric storm [03:59.582]The phantom of love moves among us at will [04:07.549]Each phantom-limb lost has got an angel [04:16.927]So confused like the wagging bobbed-tail of a bulldog [04:26.828]Kindness, kindness prevails [04:32.470]Kindness prevails! [04:36.049]Ties and rails, ties and rails fall into line bearing kindness [04:47.856]Where will you go, if not here? [04:56.424]What will you say when you write to us? [05:04.340]This is a world of terrible hardship everywhere [05:11.941]And I search for words to set you at ease [05:18.550]But there, in the looking-glass, a kite is soaring [05:25.864]Stilling my warring heart and my trembling knees [05:33.753]Clean as a breeze, bright as the day [05:41.329]All of the people gather to say [05:49.688]"Sweet Esme! Sweet Esme!" [05:57.838]Oh, oh, oh! [06:06.250]I believe love will always surround you [06:13.460]Brave as a bear with a heart rare and true [06:19.990]But if you are scared, if you are blue [06:26.730]I have prepared this small song for you: [06:34.122]Sweet Esme! Sweet Esme! [06:44.963]Oh, oh, oh!
