Из альбома: It's a Beacon It's a Bell
When I built this town
Burned the old one down
Covered myself with the ashes
I was head to foot
All black with soot
Waiting for the water to make me
And it rained and rained
All the clouds could contain
And the sound was thunder inside me
I held my ground
While the sky fell down
And my eyes could only stay open
Oh, be my pioneer bride
I know you'll be gone with the morning
But stay for now, while the sun has gone down
And the night will be forever be turning
It came in on the breeze
Shook all the trees
Rattled the roots and foundations
I changed all the locks
And piled the rocks
Tried to make sense of the signs
I scoured the stones
For fragments of bones
For the graveyards of those gone before us
And I read all the stars that I collected in jars
Waited for someone to save me
Oh, be my pioneer bride
I know you'll be gone with the morning
But stay for now, while the sun has gone down
And the night will be forever be turning
You were crazy sometimes
Dirty and kind
Don't know how much I should trust you
But here in this place, I see only your face
And forever will have to be right now.
