In an open field at dusk |
[00:39.14] |
to footfalls I awoke |
[00:42.44] |
marching ants across my temples |
[00:48.94] |
their feet had no intention |
[00:52.36] |
they followed some magnetic drum |
[00:55.67] |
prisoners of their destination |
[01:01.73] |
|
[01:02.93] |
from the slats of the factory come |
[01:06.14] |
where once they did make rails |
[01:09.61] |
old Death's peculiar songs |
[01:13.20] |
he didn't know I was listening |
[01:17.20] |
so he crowed out nice and long |
[01:21.92] |
to the spiders and the lumber |
[01:25.75] |
and the dust of his conquest |
[01:29.35] |
and his hunger and his lust |
[01:33.55] |
|
[01:34.53] |
I heard his feet rejoice |
[01:38.07] |
I heard him tap his cane |
[01:41.49] |
as if he had his own review |
[01:45.50] |
on stage at the F and M |
[01:49.24] |
|
[01:51.11] |
I caught his words in my open mouth |
[01:54.56] |
I gagged and choked and spit them out |
[01:57.87] |
I heard him turn his heated ear |
[02:01.32] |
my tiny heart beat in his ear |
[02:04.82] |
I was already running |
[02:07.47] |
oh, I heard him coming |
[02:11.23] |
|
[02:12.18] |
shrapnel spitting from his wheels |
[02:15.62] |
his sobbing arms raked for my heels |
[02:18.85] |
I dove and rolled and hid my face |
[02:22.36] |
and I said these magic words: |
[02:25.64] |
|
[02:26.44] |
my dove is home |
[02:28.25] |
her breast is warm |
[02:29.92] |
my dove is home |
[02:32.42] |
|
[02:33.29] |
and I said these magic words |
[02:36.89] |
and fell down, down the anthill for days |
[02:42.61] |
|
[02:43.73] |
my dove is home |
[02:46.25] |
her breast is warm |
[02:47.83] |
my dove is home |
[02:50.19] |
|
[02:51.14] |
my dove is home |
[02:52.83] |
her breast is warm |
[02:54.63] |
my dove is home |
[02:57.90] |
