[00:25.28]At the mouth of the open sea
[00:30.79]The leaves will be turning red
[00:38.17]While the man that they thought
[00:41.16]I could be lives in a book you read
[00:51.15]Where the coast is uncomfortably
[00:54.95]Close the sturgeon have fled
[01:04.07]I supposed that with a Japanese
[01:08.31]Rose I could undo you
[01:16.20]So I pinned it to you
[01:30.06]There's an island straight ahead
[01:35.70]Named after a dead man
[01:42.98]Where the crest at the tip of
[01:46.68]It's wrist is ladled with virgin sand
[01:56.00]Where the coast is indelibly close
[02:01.59]We'll strike up the band
[02:09.26]And I'll wonder whether
[02:11.56]We were the ones
[02:14.91]Who meant nothing to you
[02:21.06]The ones who withdrew you
[03:42.51]Heavy the hand heavy the harvest
[03:55.41]Steady the hand steady the harness
[04:08.41]Pray for the land pray for the locust
[04:21.38]Pray for the land pray for the locust
[04:31.64]At the mouth of the open sea
[04:37.33]The wedding is winding down
[04:44.65]All the guests are beginning
[04:48.12]To mourn the death of a wedding gown
[04:57.96]Your ghost is unbearably close
[05:03.34]Unbearably bound
[05:10.58]Now the lights make early widows
[05:14.23]Of nights that try to outdo you
[05:23.70]Now the crows are blackened ribbons
[05:27.26]And bows that hang from a new you
[05:36.44]I supposed that with a Japanese rose
[05:42.68]I could undo you
[05:48.48]So I pinned it to you
[05:55.48]I pinned it to you
