I saw your daughter yesterday |
| [00:39.46] |
as I was idle on the porch |
| [00:45.83] |
she slept-walked from your house down the walkway |
| [00:51.43] |
as though she'd done it all before |
| [00:57.48] |
and the moon was out |
| [01:24.75] |
and in her gown beside the riverbed |
| [01:27.87] |
she got down on her knees |
| [01:32.51] |
and wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches |
| [01:38.71] |
and with the wind beneath her feet |
| [01:45.22] |
oh, she waltzed with the dead |
| [02:10.13] |
and everything was bathed |
| [02:14.16] |
in light white as milk |
| [02:19.13] |
as the impossible began |
| [02:21.97] |
she danced across the water's edge |
| [02:28.09] |
but her feet, they didn't sink |
| [02:33.88] |
as though she flew |
| [03:50.68] |
I ran out in the water |
| [03:53.14] |
with a lantern in my hand |
| [03:56.03] |
I was waste deep and shivering |
| [03:58.41] |
I took her wrist and walked her in |
| [04:02.62] |
I was loathe to interrupt her |
| [04:05.37] |
but I had to get her home |
| [04:08.39] |
if people were to see this, they'd gather up, raise hell and burn her alive |
| [04:51.34] |
don't you mind, don't you mind |
| [04:54.11] |
she'll be fine |
| [04:56.07] |
tie a bell around her ankle |
| [04:59.05] |
before she lays down at night |
| [05:01.96] |
and the sound of her footsteps |
| [05:05.18] |
will wake me in time |
| [05:07.52] |
don't you mind, don't you mind |
| [05:10.34] |
I'll watch over her |
| [05:12.86] |
as though she were mine |
