[00:25.17] At the mouth of the open sea
[00:30.69] The leaves will be turning red
[00:38.18] While the man that they thought I could be
[00:43.94] Lives in a book you read
[00:51.14] Where the coast is uncomfortably close
[00:54.57] The sturgeon have fled
[01:04.05] I supposed that with a Japanese rose
[01:10.04] I could undo you
[01:16.14] So I pinned it to you
[01:30.00] There's an island straight ahead
[01:35.45] Named after a dead man
[01:43.01] Where the crest at the tip of its wrist
[01:48.56] Is ladled with virgin sand
[01:55.72] Where the coast is indelibly close
[02:01.34] We'll strike up the band
[02:09.35] And I'll wonder whether we were the ones
[02:14.76] Who meant nothing to you
[02:21.13] The ones who withdrew you
[03:42.76] Heavy the hand, heavy the harvest
[03:55.07] Steady the hand, steady the harness
[04:08.16] Pray for the land, pray for the locust
[04:21.06] Pray for the land, pray for the locust
[04:31.63] At the mouth of the open sea
[04:37.07] The wedding is winding down
[04:44.62] All the guests are beginning
[04:48.40] To mourn the death of a wedding gown
[04:57.00] Your ghost is unbearably close
[05:02.86] Unbearably bound
[05:10.44] Now the lights make early widows of nights
[05:16.10] That try to outdo you
[05:23.50] Now the crows are blackened ribbons and bows
[05:28.94] That hang from a new you
[05:36.21] I supposed that with a Japanese rose
[05:42.23] I could undo you
[05:48.48] So I pinned it to you
[05:55.31] I pinned it to you
[06:05.89]
