[00:17.81] We shared the experience of being alive
[00:22.23] And then we took some tea
[00:26.89] We finished up and all on a whim
[00:31.10] We talked as it was free
[00:35.83] When we went to get the bill
[00:37.79] The lady looked us over
[00:40.27] She told us,'now you stay quite still
[00:42.51] And I'll fetch in some clover'
[00:48.13] And all of the yellow melancholy
[00:52.40] The world about grew stark
[00:56.78] The only sound in all of the place
[01:01.16] Was the singing of a lark
[01:07.78] It sang Holly go lightly bright as the day
[01:12.33] Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
[01:16.83] Cold as the window frozen with frost
[01:20.96] You never been seen and you never been lost
[01:36.80] And lost I was for all of the time
[01:41.10] We never shared thereafter
[01:45.63] Closing my books and shoeing my feet
[01:49.99] The air blew in much darker
[01:54.48] Floor boards they've been laughing at me
[01:56.57] The folds of my skin are frayed
[01:58.83] I'm the oldest man I know by now
[02:01.09] I was the youngest yesterday
[02:06.97] What did I lose to mourn so long
[02:11.36] A worm in the heart has tamed me
[02:15.75] Laying to rest in a ventricle
[02:20.13] Stirs when I take my tea
[02:31.36] Holly go lightly bright as the day
[02:35.89] Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
[02:40.18] Cold as the window frozen with frost
[02:44.55] You never been seen and you never been lost
[03:07.98] I saw her once and she came upon the midday
[03:12.35] And gave me both her hands
[03:16.90] It seemed while I was still dreaming of the waves
[03:21.29] That she lived a while on land
[03:25.85] Slipping through a stream of dark
[03:28.16] The streets laid out a way
[03:30.23] Stayed above the level
[03:32.24] Kept my wondering heart at bay
[03:37.92] In the sage strands a feeling in the landlord's daily dealing
[03:42.37] There's a turn of a twisting smile
[03:46.85] Cheap is your time when our tea don't taste so fine
[03:51.26] How are you, it's been a while
[03:57.98] Holly go lightly bright as the day
[04:02.38] Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
[04:07.01] Cold as the window frozen with frost
[04:11.14] You never been seen and you never been lost
[04:15.81] Holly go lightly bright as the day
[04:20.00] Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay
[04:24.40] Cold as the window frozen with frost
[04:28.72] You never been seen and you never been lost
