Autumn-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.300]Driven through by her own sword [00:11.611]Summer died last night, alone [00:20.885]Even the ghosts [00:25.091]Huddled up for warmth [00:33.685]Autumn has come to my hometown [00:44.186]Friendly voices, dead and gone [00:54.818]Singing, Star of the country down... [01:04.196](Even the ghosts help raise the barn [01:16.578]Here, now, in my hometown) [01:23.448] [01:32.251]When, out of the massing [01:34.550]That bodes and bides, in the cold west [01:48.291]Flew a waxwing, who froze [01:51.608]And died against my breast! [02:03.233]All the while, rain [02:05.244]Like a weed in the tide [02:10.260]Swans and lists [02:17.469]Down on the gossiping lawns [02:25.489]Saying tsk tsk tsk [02:31.262]I may have changed. It's hard to gauge [02:41.711]Time won't account for how I've aged [02:51.585]Would I could tie your lying tongue [03:02.792]Who says that leaving keeps you young [03:13.293]I have got no control [03:24.264]Over my heart, over my mind [03:33.877]Over the hills, the rainclouds roll [03:44.483]I'll winter here, wait for a sign [03:52.424] [03:57.362]To cast myself out [04:01.228]Over the water [04:03.892]Riven like a wishbone [04:10.449]You'd hardly guess [04:14.341]I was my own mother's daughter; [04:19.357]I ain't naturally given to roam [04:26.854]I lay low, when I return [04:32.914]And I move [04:34.168]Like a gurney [04:37.590]Whose wheels are squeaking [04:42.945]Alone, here in my home [04:47.334]And I laugh [04:48.640]When you speak of my pleasure-seeking [04:58.723]Among the tall pines [05:08.650]Along the ley-lines [05:18.602]Here, where the loon keens [05:28.764]There, where the moon leans [05:38.717]There [05:39.944]Where I know my violent love lays down [05:49.636]In a row of silent, dove-gray days [05:59.040]Here, in a row of silent, dove-gray days [06:09.358]Wherever I go, I am snowbound [06:18.371]By thoughts of him [06:22.028]Whom I would sun [06:28.715]I loved them all [06:34.227]One by one [06:38.772]Cannot gain ground [06:43.762]Cannot outrun; [06:49.848]But time marches along [07:00.245]You can't always stick around [07:09.153]But, when the final count is done [07:17.590]I will be in my hometown [07:27.203]I will be in my hometown [07:39.167]
