[00:00.614]
[00:35.801]We picked our way
[00:40.163]Down to the beach
[00:44.708]Watching the waves dragging out of our reach
[00:52.963]Tangling tails like a sodden sheet
[00:59.990]Dangling entrails from a gut of the sea
[01:10.100]Hoarding our meals
[01:13.731]Alfalfa and rolls
[01:18.642]Trying not to catch the cold eye of the gulls
[01:26.792]I hope mother nature has not overheard
[01:33.793]Though she doles out hurt like a puking bird
[01:43.850]la-la-la
[02:16.660]You stayed for the winter
[02:21.048]No one told us about the laws of the land
[02:28.545]I hold my own but you with your hunger
[02:36.434]You on the other hand
[02:44.219]Make yourself known
[02:46.700]And when we were found
[02:51.428]I know we both grieved
[02:55.451]My heart made the sound of snow falling from eaves
[03:03.732]You and me, Bess
[03:06.658]We was as thick as thieves
[03:10.446]So I swore nonetheless
[03:14.808]Up and down, it was only me
[03:19.562]So they took me away
[03:24.578]And after some time
[03:29.175]Studying my case must have made up their minds
[03:37.874]By the time you realized I was dying
[03:44.013]Must have been too late
[03:48.793]I believe you were not lying a little
[03:53.940]la-la-la
[04:26.697]It is the day I
[04:30.668]Wait with my ears cocked up like a gun
[04:38.322]Like every day of course
[04:41.404]Yanked by my wrists to the
[04:45.348]Sugar front court yard
[04:48.248]Now tell me what have I done?
[04:53.316]Seems I have stolen a horse and I
[04:56.790]Step to the gallows
[05:00.996]Who do you think that you are?
[05:08.441]Arching your hooves like a crane in the shallow
[05:15.572]Gutters that line the boulevards
[05:23.304]Powdered with folks who just stare as I hang
[05:30.671]It's all the same
[05:34.668]Kindness comes over me
[05:38.116]What was your name?
[05:42.269]It makes no difference I'm glad that you came
[05:49.348]Forever I'll listen to your glad neighing
[05:57.499]la-la-la
