[00:06.38]You so fleet and youthful must have split a thousand apples.
[00:11.19]Oh I watched you as you steadied first your heart your then breath
[00:16.45]
[00:17.90]Venturing out you scanned a blades thousand of grass,
[00:22.38]And when you drew your bowstring, it was a swift and cordial death.
[00:28.03]
[00:29.98]As you stood in the wilderness
[00:33.92]
[00:34.74]Did you feel the silence in the stillness?
[00:39.35]
[00:42.85]That was me with you in the forest
[00:48.53]For you knew the balances
[00:50.90]The balances before us.
[00:53.96]
[00:54.89]I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
[01:07.26]
[01:11.46]Oh a tree it's a record, a home of memories,
[01:17.12]And every bird springs from an old master's canvas, full in flight.
[01:22.75]And the pond I go to sparkles in a vast estuary,
[01:28.99]And those men saw nothing staring drunken through their sites.
[01:34.24]
[01:35.55]one The who spied me out as goods to plunder,
[01:40.49]I had to show the world that he was not a true hunter.
[01:46.69]
[01:48.45]That was me,
[01:49.56]
[01:51.20]When he saw me naked,
[01:54.14]He was interrupting,
[01:56.58]Something sacred.
[01:59.59]
[02:00.59]I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek.
[02:12.89]
[02:25.76]And the newsmen circled leaving trails of cigarette butts
[02:31.83]Machine-like up the hill to Crystal Creek.
[02:36.81]
[02:37.75]“James,” she said, “who would do this thing I’ve seen today,
[02:43.18]I cannot hold my mic, my hands are shaking, knees are weak.”
[02:49.91]“They found a man and he was wrapped in a deerskin,
[02:53.72]
[02:54.81]Riddled through with boxes of his friends'ammunition.
[03:00.65]
[03:02.90]Turn the camera off,” she said.
[03:05.33]
[03:11.32]That was me.
[03:12.45]
[03:14.19]Oh my noble animals,
[03:16.94]You must act with reverence,
[03:19.33]With reverence not like cannibals.
[03:22.21]
[03:23.46]I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
[03:36.22]
