[00:00.927]Sadie, white coat
[00:06.831]You carry me home
[00:13.074]And bury this bone
[00:20.101]And take this pine-cone
[00:27.755]Bury this bone to gnaw on it later
[00:36.375]Gnawing on the telephone
[00:40.607]And 'till then, we pray and suspend
[00:47.321]The notion that these lives do never end
[00:54.217]And all day long we talk about mercy
[01:01.688]Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
[01:08.532]Down in the ditch where I nearly served you
[01:14.932]Up in the clouds where he almost heard you
[01:21.515]And all that we built
[01:24.545]And all that we breathed
[01:27.784]And all that we spilt
[01:30.997]Or pulled up like weeds
[01:34.237]Is piled up in back
[01:37.476]And it burns irrevocably
[01:47.559](And we spoke up in turns
[01:50.511]'Till the silence crept over me.)
[02:00.568]And bless you
[02:03.729]And I deeply do
[02:06.864]No longer resolute
[02:10.991]And I call to you
[02:14.596]But the water
[02:17.339]Got so cold
[02:20.526]And you do lose
[02:23.817]What you don't hold
[02:27.082]This is an old song, these are old blues
[02:34.449]And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
[02:41.998]And the seabirds where the fear once grew
[02:48.660]Will flock with a fury
[02:51.611]And they will bury what'd come for you
[02:55.765]And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
[03:02.348]You and I, and a love so tender
[03:09.244]Stretched on a hoop where I stitch - this adage:
[03:15.644]"Bless our house and its heart so savage."
[03:21.835]And all that I want
[03:25.074]And all that I need
[03:28.313]And all that I've got is scattered like seed
[03:34.922]And all that I knew is moving away from me
[03:48.271](And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed.)
[03:55.690]
[04:01.881]And the mealy worms
[04:05.303]In the brine will burn
[04:08.437]In a salty pyre
[04:11.154]Among the fauns and ferns
[04:15.334]And the love we hold
[04:18.390]And the love we spurn
[04:21.734]Will never grow cold
[04:24.529]Only taciturn
[04:28.604]And I'll tell you tomorrow
[04:35.500]Sadie, go on home now
[04:41.352]And bless those who've sickened below
[04:47.412]And bless us who've chosen so
[04:54.805]And all that I've got
[04:58.227]And all that I need
[05:01.623]I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
[05:08.127]And I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
[05:21.580](So dig up your bone
[05:25.002]Exhume your pine-cone, my Sadie.)
[05:30.253]

Sadie, white coat
You carry me home
And bury this bone
And take this pine-cone
Bury this bone to gnaw on it later
Gnawing on the telephone
And 'till then, we pray and suspend
The notion that these lives do never end
And all day long we talk about mercy
Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
Down in the ditch where I nearly served you
Up in the clouds where he almost heard you
And all that we built
And all that we breathed
And all that we spilt
Or pulled up like weeds
Is piled up in back
And it burns irrevocably
(And we spoke up in turns
'Till the silence crept over me.)
And bless you
And I deeply do
No longer resolute
And I call to you
But the water
Got so cold
And you do lose
What you don't hold
This is an old song, these are old blues
And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
And the seabirds where the fear once grew
Will flock with a fury
And they will bury what'd come for you
And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
You and I, and a love so tender
Stretched on a hoop where I stitch - this adage:
"Bless our house and its heart so savage."
And all that I want
And all that I need
And all that I've got is scattered like seed
And all that I knew is moving away from me
(And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed.)
And the mealy worms
In the brine will burn
In a salty pyre
Among the fauns and ferns
And the love we hold
And the love we spurn
Will never grow cold
Only taciturn
And I'll tell you tomorrow
Sadie, go on home now
And bless those who've sickened below
And bless us who've chosen so
And all that I've got
And all that I need
I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
And I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
(So dig up your bone
Exhume your pine-cone, my Sadie.)
