The sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my mother's eyes
That came from the blue in her mother's eyes
Thrown on down the line
By our family who worked the field on borrowed land above the ocean
My family worked the field on borrowed land

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss

Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind
Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind

Can you blame the sea, Oh can you blame the sea,
'Cause she's a flowin' in that water deep

Is it the dirt that you envy so
'Cause in it her strong roots still grow

dark hair & midnight eyes
she's looking like it's 1995
& while my steps are made of stone
hers are light in air & sky

ooh, she's looking for something
she's spinning & circling
she's reckless, she's pining

There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed
They do not wither in the morning light
I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows

Thinking I'd like to look at your teeth lined up in perfect rows
A maze of children feeding orchard trees
Where the flat lands stretch inside your mouth
And when you laugh all the star thistles stumble out

That sidewalk is a river that I fished dry
Oh that sidewalk is a river that I fished dry
And now it's my heavy hand filling the brim
And it hauled me out of their brim(??)

But my coat of arms burns stronger still
But my coat of arms burns stronger still

When I go from this life, let me go in peace
Don't want your marble at my head and feet
Don't gather round me oh just to weep and moan
Where that I'm going I won't be alone

The flowers you give, please give them today
Don't waste their beauty on cold lifeless clay
One rose with love could do so much good

Indigo is blue like the you of me or you
Ebony is darker than the deepest
Emerald like the water we swam in for a while
To a man of many colors I give word

He's a charmer, my man of many colors
He sings till hours take him well past midnight
His indigo in evenin' skies, ebony on moonless night

I'll have you know
I'll have you know

That if I had one
I'd play this on piano
And if I had one of those
I'd sit it on my knee and count to 1, 2, 3

I'll have you know
I'll have you know

That if I had one
I'd play this on piano
And if I had one of those
I'd sit it on my knee and count to 1, 2, 3

A frost covered the ground this way
Bit the lilacs petals, turned them brown
They are not in blue pitchers
On the kitchen table anymore

‘Cause my mother is down in Mexico somewhere
And I don’t know if she’s ever coming back
And my father we talk on the telephone sometimes

At the end of a day
At the end of the day
A song that I sing is the same
A song that I sing is the same

Then a year has been sung
A year is gone and I'm older
Then I've never been so young anyway

This crazy, crazy is caught in the forest
And your parcel's in the sand
A cuckoo wind's blowin'
Those sparrows are crowin'
And dancin' birds slow in the sky

'Cause something's gone awry
Something's gone awry

Так воздух чист над остриями скал,
Чтобы ты средь них дорогу отыскал
И за снежною волной
Как впервые повстречался бы со мной.

Косы вей, мчи стрелой
За оленьей за тропой.

Gold around those fingers shown
Bound for to carry home
Fond of the flattest field
But you know there are bones buried deep down below

Tatted lace frail figure graced
That has since been torn and stained
Tatted lace frail figure graced

I can hear the elders whispering in words so sweet and low
The alder trees were listening to songs been sung before
My friend and I collecting skeletons of leaves
Making tiny piles, oh, and sifting through the weeds

Wind blows the tiny green, tiny green
Wind blows the tiny green, helicopter seeds
Wind blows the tiny green, tiny green

She was always walking, singing to her footsteps
Dirt ditch paths and pine cones digging up glass bottles
Rusty springs from feather beds, old hubcaps on the picket fence
She planted beds of flowers, stayed outside for hours

In spirit she's drifted to the ocean
All those years of waiting for the water
She's watching long shadows caught in the tide

While some folks row way up to heaven
I'm gonna sing the pirate's gospel
I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin'
I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open

Yo ho yo ho
Yo ho ho
Yo ho yo ho ho

Oh I've been knocking on that door in my sleep
Fight my fireplace glow
I've been knocking on that door in my sleep
Fight my fireplace glow to keep me away,
To keep me away from home

Papa gets the rifle from its place above the French doors
They're coming from the woods

Down the stairs to the stone house
Golden light, oh what a fight, another sleepless night
Her dress's, filigree
She tells me all her secrets then I'm back on the street
Oh

It's hard, oh it's hard to help yourself
When you don't know where to begin

Oh, there's something unraveling
I can hear it pulling on my heart strings
And I’m not sure who put these boots on our feet
But we're still walking, walking, walking
Talking about how it used to be

And if you find a seashell
Do you wonder where the life that lived there once has gone

I’ve known mornings white as diamonds
Silent from a night so cold
Such a stillness, calm as the owl glides
Our lives are buried in snow

I was sifting through the piles
In my hand a tangled thread
Each patient tug upon the snarl

The tops of crags and cliffs, the air is thin
So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill
Meet me where the snow mount flows
It is there, my dear, where we will begin again
Skipping stones, braiding hair
Last year's antlers mark the trail

Take us back, oh, take us back
