| [00:07.55] |
Do you still sing of the mountain bed |
| [00:10.50] |
We made of limbs and leaves: |
| [00:13.12] |
|
| [00:14.74] |
Do you still sigh there near the sky |
| [00:17.29] |
Where the holly berry bleeds: |
| [00:20.14] |
|
| [00:23.02] |
You laughed as I covered you over |
| [00:25.79] |
With leaves face breast hips and thighs |
| [00:29.07] |
|
| [00:31.80] |
You smiled when I said the leaves were |
| [00:34.43] |
Just the color of your eyes |
| [00:37.89] |
|
| [01:13.98] |
Rosin smells and turpentine smells |
| [01:17.00] |
From eucalyptus and pine |
| [01:19.32] |
|
| [01:21.12] |
Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed |
| [01:24.00] |
Where tangled woodvines twine |
| [01:26.12] |
|
| [01:29.32] |
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick |
| [01:33.40] |
We could not see |
| [01:34.98] |
|
| [01:38.64] |
I could not see any wrong in you |
| [01:41.47] |
And you saw none in me |
| [01:43.90] |
|
| [01:55.50] |
Your arm was brown against the ground |
| [01:58.89] |
Your cheeks part of the sky |
| [02:01.48] |
|
| [02:03.14] |
As your fingers played with grassy moss |
| [02:05.98] |
And limber did you lie: |
| [02:08.26] |
|
| [02:11.24] |
Your stomach moved beneath your shirt |
| [02:14.56] |
And your knees were in the air |
| [02:17.07] |
|
| [02:20.03] |
Your feet played games with mountain roots |
| [02:23.47] |
As you lay thinking there |
| [02:25.95] |
|
| [02:32.37] |
Below us the trees grew clumps of trees |
| [02:35.78] |
Raised families of trees and they |
| [02:38.14] |
|
| [02:39.74] |
As proud as we tossed their heads |
| [02:42.42] |
In the wind and flung good seeds away: |
| [02:45.12] |
|
| [02:47.86] |
The sun was hot and the sun |
| [02:50.39] |
Was bright down in the valley below |
| [02:53.48] |
|
| [02:56.95] |
Where people starved and hungry |
| [02:58.92] |
For life so empty come and go |
| [03:02.31] |
|
| [03:08.91] |
There in the shade and hid from |
| [03:11.16] |
The sun we freed our minds and learned |
| [03:14.45] |
|
| [03:16.19] |
Our greatest reason for being here |
| [03:19.03] |
Our bodies moved and burned |
| [03:21.49] |
|
| [03:24.44] |
There on our mountain bed of leaves |
| [03:26.63] |
|
| [03:27.14] |
We learned lifes reason why |
| [03:29.61] |
|
| [03:33.08] |
The people laugh and love and dream |
| [03:36.00] |
They fight they hate to die |
| [03:38.55] |
|
| [03:44.73] |
The smell of your hair I know is still there |
| [03:48.24] |
If most of our leaves are blown |
| [03:50.81] |
|
| [03:52.27] |
Our words still ring in the brush |
| [03:54.46] |
And the trees where singing seeds are sown |
| [03:57.05] |
|
| [04:00.04] |
Your shape and form is dim |
| [04:02.14] |
But plain there on our mountain bed |
| [04:05.53] |
|
| [04:08.45] |
I see my life was brightest where you laughed |
| [04:12.72] |
And laid your head |
| [04:14.13] |
|
| [04:25.87] |
I learned the reason why man must work |
| [04:29.15] |
And how to dream big dreams |
| [04:31.70] |
|
| [04:33.28] |
To conquer time and space |
| [04:35.18] |
And fight the rivers and the seas |
| [04:38.52] |
|
| [04:41.03] |
I stand here filled with my emptiness now |
| [04:43.98] |
|
| [04:44.55] |
And look at city and land |
| [04:46.82] |
|
| [04:49.50] |
And I know why farms and cities are built |
| [04:52.77] |
By hot warm nervous hands |
| [04:55.87] |
|
| [05:01.58] |
I crossed many states just to stand here now |
| [05:04.65] |
My face all hot with tears |
| [05:07.44] |
|
| [05:08.78] |
I crossed city and valley desert and stream |
| [05:12.63] |
To bring my body here: |
| [05:14.24] |
|
| [05:16.71] |
My history and future blaze bright in me |
| [05:19.67] |
|
| [05:20.22] |
And all my joy and pain |
| [05:22.51] |
|
| [05:25.31] |
Go through my head on our mountain bed |
| [05:28.44] |
Where I smell your hair again |
| [05:30.57] |
|
| [05:37.30] |
All this day long I linger here |
| [05:39.58] |
|
| [05:40.38] |
And on in through the night |
| [05:42.58] |
|
| [05:44.60] |
My greeds desires my cravings hopes |
| [05:47.85] |
My dreams inside me fight: |
| [05:50.00] |
|
| [05:52.70] |
My loneliness healed my emptiness filled |
| [05:55.74] |
|
| [05:56.81] |
I walk above all pain |
| [05:58.72] |
|
| [06:01.67] |
Back to the breasts of my woman and child |
| [06:04.76] |
To scatter my seeds again |
