Joanna Newsom - Sprout And The Bean Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I slept all day

awoke with distaste

and I railed,

and I raved

That the difference between

the sprout and the bean

is a golden ring,

it is a twisted string.

And you can ask the counsellor;

you can ask the king;

and they'll say the same thing;

and it's a funny thing:

Should we go outside?

Should we go outside?

Should we break some bread?

Are y'interested?

And as I said,

I slept as though dead

dreaming seamless dreams of lead.

When you go away,

I am big-boned and fey

in the dust of the day,

in the dirt of the day.

and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,

and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,

And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,

and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,

who know th'outside!

Should we go outside?

Should we break some bread?

Are y'interested?
