[00:00.00]Kingfisher - Joanna Newsom
[00:01.49]Whose is the hand that I will hold
[00:07.21]Whose is the face I will see
[00:13.39]Whose is the name that I will call
[00:19.16]When I am called to meet thee
[00:35.60]In this life who did you love
[00:41.23]Beneath the drifting ashes
[00:46.89]Beneath the sheeting banks of air
[00:51.65]That barrenly bore our rations
[01:08.00]When I could speak it was too late
[01:13.70]Didn't you hear me calling
[01:19.45]Didn't you see my heart leap like
[01:24.25]A pup in the constant barley
[01:41.35]In this new life where did you crouch
[01:46.90]When the sky had set to boiling
[01:52.36]Burning within seen from without
[01:57.15]And your gut was a serpent coiling
[02:03.15]And for the sake of that pito' snakes
[02:08.32]For whom did you allay your shyness
[02:13.73]And spend all your mercy and madness and grace
[02:17.96]In a day beneath the bending cypress
[02:24.82]It was not on principle
[02:28.09]Show pro-heart that you have got gall
[02:33.68]A miracle
[02:35.89]I can bear a lot but not that pall
[02:40.41]I can bear a lot but not that pall
[02:45.25]Kingfisher sound the alarm
[02:49.42]Say"sweet little darling now come to my arms
[02:53.48]Tell me all about the love you left on the farm"
[02:58.51]He was a kind unhurried man
[03:03.70]With a heavy lip and a steady hand
[03:08.52]But he loved me just like a little child
[03:13.48]A little child loves a little lamb
[03:19.03]Thrown to the ground by something down there
[03:24.30]Bitten by the bad air while the clouds tick
[03:30.32]Trying to read all the signs
[03:34.05]Preparing for when the bombs hit
[03:50.57]Hung from the underbelly of the earth
[03:56.07]While the stars skid away below
[03:59.80]Gormless and brakeless gravel-loose
[04:04.00]Falling silent as gavels in the snow
[04:19.89]I lay back and spit in my chaw
[04:24.26]Wrapped in the long arm of the law
[04:29.51]Who has seen it all
[04:31.63]I can bear a lot but not that pall
[04:36.31]I can bear a lot but not that pall
[04:41.30]Kingfisher cast your fly
[04:45.90]O lord it happens without even trying
[04:49.61]When I sling a low look from my shuttering eye
[04:55.13]Blows rain upon the one you loved
[05:00.44]And though you were only sparring
[05:05.37]There's blood on the eye unlace the glove
[05:10.23]Say honey I am not sorry
[05:26.50]Stand here and name the one you loved
[05:32.25]Beneath the drifting ashes
[05:38.41]And in naming rise above time
[05:44.00]As it flashing passes
[06:15.07]We came by the boatload
[06:21.57]And were immobilised
[06:27.82]Worshiping volcanoes
[06:34.24]Charting the loping skies
[06:40.44]The tides of the earth left
[06:46.87]Us bound and calcified and made as
[06:53.36]Ostinate as obsidian
[06:59.53]Unmoving save our eyes
[07:05.71]Just mooning and blinking
[07:11.44]From faces marked with coal
[07:17.86]Ash cooling and shrinking
[07:24.13]Cracks loud as thunder rolling I swear
[07:30.09]I know you you know me
[07:36.36]Where have we met before tell me true
[07:42.69]To whose authority
[07:49.13]Do you consign your soul
[07:53.88]I had a dream you came to me
[07:59.17]Saying you shall not do me harm anymore
[08:04.85]And with your knife you evicted my life
[08:08.68]From its little lighthouse on the seashore
[08:13.46]And I saw that my blood had no bounds
[08:19.62]Spreading in a circle like an atom bomb
[08:24.99]Soaking and felling everything in it's path
[08:28.82]And welling in my heart like a birdbath
[08:34.18]It is too short the day we are born
[08:39.78]We commence with our dying
[08:44.18]Trying to serve with the heart of a child
[08:49.13]Kingfisher lie with the lion
