[00:04.74]Raney William's playground was among Haven's streets
[00:07.83]Where he ran past melted candles and flower wreaths
[00:11.83]Names and photos of the young black faces
[00:16.07]Whose death and blood consecrated these places
[00:23.85]Raney's mother said Raney stay at my side
[00:28.00]For you are my blessing, you are my pride
[00:32.08]It's your love here that keeps my soul alive
[00:36.14]I want you to come home from school and stay inside
[00:42.87]Raney'd do his work and put his books away
[00:46.61]There was a channel showed a Western movie everyday
[00:51.13]And that brought him home books on the black cowboys of the Oklahoma range
[00:55.87]The Seminole scouts that fought the tribes of the Great Plains
[01:03.66]Summer come and the days grew long
[01:07.61]Raney always had his mother's smile to depend on
[01:12.26]Along the street of stray bullets he made his way
[01:16.48]To the warmth of her arms at the end of each day
[01:26.27]Come the Fall, the rain flooded these homes
[01:30.32]In Ezekiel's valley of dry bones
[01:34.67]It fell hard and dark to the ground
[01:38.27]It fell without a sound
[01:44.21]And they took up with a man whose business was the boulevard
[01:47.65]Whose smile was fixed in a face that was never off guard
[01:51.95]In the pipes 'neath the kitchen sink his secrets are kept
[01:55.96]In the day, behind drawn curtains in the next bedroom he slept
[02:03.05]And she got lost in the days
[02:08.06]The smile Raney depended on dusted away
[02:12.46]The arms that held him were no more his own
[02:16.59]He lay at night his head pressed to her chest listening to the ghost in her bones
[02:27.47]In the kitchen, Raney slipped his hand between the pipes
[02:32.89]From a brown bag pulled five hundred dollar bills and stuck it in his coat side
[02:37.91]Stood in the dark at his mother's bed
[02:41.80]Brushed her hair and kissed her eyes
[02:48.02]In the twilight Raney walked to the station on streets of stone
[02:52.37]Through Pennsylvania and Ohio his train drifted on
[02:56.52]Through the small towns of Indiana the big train crept
[03:01.93]As he lay his head back on his seat and slept
[03:08.30]He woke and the towns gave way to muddy fields of green
[03:11.85]Corn and cotton and endless nothing in between
[03:16.45]Over the rutted hills of Oklahoma the red sun slipped and was gone
[03:21.20]The moon rose and stripped the earth to its bone
