[00:17.28] Saw an eagle on a pole,
[00:22.34] I think it was an eagle.
[00:26.74] Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement.
[00:35.22] And I woke up in the snow,
[00:39.20] all the trees, and crowds, and people.
[00:43.96] No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went.
[00:50.18]
[00:51.59] I followed the fenceline thin,
[00:56.00] back where the yard begins
[01:00.97] My woman, she stood crying like a man.
[01:10.38] Said, where have you been?
[01:14.70] Where have you been?
[01:17.66] I thought you said that all of that was done.
[01:25.86] El Cielo es azul,
[01:29.56] Just don't go telling anyone.
[01:36.98]
[01:38.67] Thought the kettle was a train.
[01:42.72] Thought that Monday was a doorframe.
[01:47.32] Tried so hard to finally settle down.
[01:55.27] Heard the fire pop and snap.
[01:59.24] Like a tack piano rag.
[02:03.92] I never could get used to happy sounds.
[02:10.48]
[02:11.46] Yeah, I hope the world's exposed.
[02:15.27] A cruel and elaborate hoax.
[02:19.73] It convinces me to walk without a cane.
[02:29.47] But what can you do?
[02:33.70] Child, what can you do?
[02:36.52] I always heard that what is done is done.
[02:44.51] El Cielo es azul,
[02:48.25] Just don't go telling anyone.
[02:55.68]
[03:13.92] The past don't ever quit.
[03:17.97] There's boxes in the attic.
[03:22.71] Baby shoes and taxidermy dream.
[03:30.53] While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head,
[03:39.14] explode and then are scattered by the breeze.
[03:46.39] We're such a long way back to all the fun that we had.
[03:55.37] When nothing ever seemed to bother me.
[04:04.53] But what can you do?
[04:07.05] Brother, what can you do?
[04:11.27] Sleep with the stars, and toil in the sun.
[04:18.64]
[04:19.56] El Cielo es azul,
[04:22.97] Just don't go telling anyone.
[04:27.91] El Cielo es azul,
[04:31.48] Just don't go telling anyone.
[04:38.20]
