Song | Confederate Jasmine |
Artist | Bill Callahan |
Album | Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest |
[00:14.888] | Life has given you a gift |
[00:23.379] | May I have it? |
[00:33.636] | Sitting up alone, sipping on writer's cologne |
[00:38.805] | My wife sleeps well |
[00:43.769] | I should have asked for some loving |
[00:54.067] | In the morning, for sure |
[01:00.349] | When Confederate Jasmine clings to the air |
[01:17.338] | Like a soft note from a dented horn |
[01:24.365] | And Grover counts to fifty |
[01:30.099] | In the other room, sweetly forlorn |
[01:38.203] | But there’s a wolf in my house |
[01:44.352] | Messing up the bed I learned to make in AA |
[01:50.176] | And a frightened child won't tell the wolf to go away |
[02:00.087] | It brings a smile to the tear in the eye of the shepherd on the hillside |
[02:15.181] | We've seen enough wolf for one day |
[02:20.822] | And packs his staff away |
[02:29.812] | The heart of man |
[02:35.364] | Is a fork in the road |
[02:41.990] | That’s where I stand |
[02:47.321] | As the ocean pulls the moon from behind the cloud |
[02:54.047] | Its face makes the wolves howl |
[03:00.097] | Wakes my wife, makes my wife find a towel |
[03:07.860] | She says, "It's late, I'm bleeding" |
[03:17.963] | And we're making love right now |
