| [00:00.00] | The Randall Knife (LP版) - Guy Clark |
| [00:15.29] | My father had a randall knife |
| [00:18.83] | My mother gave it to him |
| [00:21.74] | When he went off to WWII |
| [00:25.19] | To save us all from ruin |
| [00:28.77] | If you've ever held a Randall knife |
| [00:32.14] | Then you know my father well |
| [00:35.41] | If a better blade was ever made |
| [00:38.59] | It was probably forged in hell |
| [00:44.06] | My father was a good man |
| [00:47.17] | He was a lawyer by his trade |
| [00:50.91] | And only once did I ever see |
| [00:54.01] | Him misuse the blade |
| [00:57.49] | Well it almost cut his thumb off |
| [01:01.02] | When he took it for a tool |
| [01:04.48] | The knife was made for darker things |
| [01:07.47] | And you could not bend the rules |
| [01:12.97] | He let me take it camping once |
| [01:16.56] | On a Boy Scout jamboree |
| [01:19.67] | And I broke a half an inch off |
| [01:22.49] | Trying to stick it in a tree |
| [01:26.58] | I hid it from him for a while |
| [01:30.14] | But the knife and he were one |
| [01:33.78] | He put it in his bottom drawer |
| [01:36.91] | Without a hard word one |
| [01:42.09] | There it slept and there it stayed |
| [01:45.29] | For twenty some odd years |
| [01:49.09] | Sort of like Excalibur |
| [01:51.74] | Except waiting for a tear |
| [02:09.72] | My father died when I was forty |
| [02:12.99] | And I couldn't find a way to cry |
| [02:16.50] | Not because I didn't love him |
| [02:19.72] | Not because he didn't try |
| [02:22.80] | I'd cried for every lesser thing |
| [02:26.62] | Whiskey pain and beauty |
| [02:30.11] | But he deserved a better tear |
| [02:33.23] | And I was not quite ready |
| [02:38.59] | So we took his ashed out to sea |
| [02:42.16] | And poured them off the stern |
| [02:45.42] | And threw the roses in the wake |
| [02:48.83] | Of everything we'd learned |
| [02:52.47] | When we got back to the house |
| [02:55.68] | They asked me what I wanted |
| [02:59.15] | Not the lawbooks not the watch |
| [03:01.91] | I need the things he's haunted |
| [03:06.90] | My hand burned for the Randall knife |
| [03:11.39] | There in the bottom drawer |
| [03:14.88] | And I found a tear for my father's life |
| [03:18.51] | All that it stood for |
