[00:00.00]Baby Birch - Joanna Newsom
[00:00.40]Composed by：Joanna Newsom
[00:00.81]This is the song for Baby Birch
[00:09.75]Oh I will never know you
[00:25.86]And at the back of what we've done
[00:34.31]There is that knowledge of you
[00:49.71]Well I wish we could take every path
[00:58.50]I could spend a hundred years adoring you
[01:14.66]Yes I wish we could take every path
[01:23.44]Because you know I hated to close the door on you
[01:40.56]Do you remember staring up at the stars?
[01:49.98]So far away in their bulletproof cars?
[02:06.02]When we heard the rushing slow intake
[02:15.31]Of the dark dark water and the engine breaks
[02:30.73]And I said
[02:32.65]How about them engine breaks?
[02:39.77]And if I should die before I wake
[02:55.22]Will you keep an eye on Baby Birch?
[03:04.79]Because I'd hate to see her make the same mistakes
[03:19.57]When it was dark
[03:24.77]I called and you came
[03:34.44]When it was dark I saw shapes
[03:48.75]When I see stars I feel in your hand
[04:03.05]And I see stars and I reel again
[04:17.48]Well mercy me I'll be goddamned
[04:26.56]It's been a long long time
[04:32.02]Since I last saw you
[04:42.30]And I have never known the plan
[04:49.63]It's been a long long time
[04:55.12]How are you?
[05:04.93]Your eyes are green your hair is gold
[05:13.25]Your hair is black your eyes are blue
[05:29.03]I closed the ranks and I doubled back
[05:36.38]But you know I hated to close the doggone door on you
[05:50.99]We take a walk along the dirty lake
[06:05.16]Hear the goose cussing at me over her eggs
[06:18.80]You poor little cousin
[06:25.55]I don't want your dregs
[06:32.46]A little baby fussing over my legs
[06:46.15]There is a blacksmith and there is a shepherd
[06:49.73]And there is a butcher boy
[06:52.61]And there is a barber who is cutting
[06:55.24]And cutting away at my only joy
[06:58.69]I saw a rabbit as slick as a knife
[07:02.11]And as pale as a candlestick
[07:04.92]And I had thought it'd be harder to do
[07:08.23]But I caught her and skinned her quick
[07:11.04]Held her there
[07:12.50]Kicking and mewling
[07:13.60]Upended unspooling unsung and blue
[07:17.05]Told her"wherever you go
[07:19.57]Little runaway bunny I will find you"
[07:22.88]And then she ran
[07:28.50]As they're liable to do
[07:35.39]Be at peace baby and be gone
[07:47.62]Be at peace baby and be gone
