[00:12.71] older brother, restless soul, lie down
[00:18.60] lie for a while with your ear against the earth
[00:24.30] and you'll hear your sister sleep talking say
[00:27.45] "your hair is long but not long enough to reach home to me
[00:36.43] but your beard someday might be"
[00:42.85] and she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
[00:48.56] next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
[00:54.67] and beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
[01:03.22] she'll lay it aside
[01:16.46] older father, weary soul, you'll drive
[01:22.44] back to the home you made on the mountainside
[01:28.29] with that ugly, terrible thing
[01:31.13] those papers for divorce and a lonely ring
[01:36.68] a lonely ring
[01:40.26] sit on your porch
[01:42.98] and pluck your strings
[01:46.93] and you'll find somebody you can blame
[01:52.68] and you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
[02:00.53] and you'll find the peace of the Lord.
[02:26.34] grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
[02:32.26] over your life once more before you die
[02:38.47] since our grandma passed away
[02:41.08] you've waited for forever and a day
[02:46.63] just to die
[02:50.14] and someday soon
[02:53.18] you will die
[02:55.67] it was the only woman you ever loved
[03:02.14] that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
[03:08.33] and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
[03:14.61] and there's nothing you can do about it now
