[00:26.42] In our days we will live
[00:31.91] Like our ghosts will live
[00:38.97] Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
[00:45.04] And folding clothes
[00:51.31] Like stubborn boys across the road
[00:57.08] We'll keep everything
[01:04.11] Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
[01:10.11] That took her dog
[01:16.44] And when Sister Laurie says amen
[01:22.16] We won't hear anything
[01:29.05] The ten car trains will take that word
[01:35.25] That fledgling bird
[01:41.54] And the fallen house across the way
[01:47.19] It'll keep everything
[01:54.18] The baby's breath
[01:57.12] Our bravery wasted and our shame
[02:06.80] And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
[02:13.53] Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
[02:19.75] All the more a pair of underwater pearls
[02:26.33] Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
[02:58.49] In our days we will say
[03:04.77] What our ghosts will say
[03:11.59] We gave the world what it saw fit
[03:18.02] And what'd we get
[03:24.35] Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
[03:30.11] We'll see everything
[03:36.64] In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
[03:42.81] And the buzzard's wing
[03:49.52] And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
[03:55.95] Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
[04:02.19] All the more a pair of underwater pearls
[04:08.71] Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
