Emily - Joanna Newsom
Composed by：Joanna Newsom
The meadowlark and the chim-choo-ree and the sparrow
Set to the sky in a flying spree for the sport of the pharaoh
Little while later the Pharisees dragged a comb through the meadow
Do you remember what they called up to you and me in our window
There is a rusty light on the pines tonight
Sun pouring wine lord or marrow
Down into the bones of the birches
And the spires of the churches
Jutting out from the shadows
The yoke and the axe and the old smokestacks and the bale and the barrow
And everything sloped like it was dragged from a rope
In the mouth of the south below
We've seen those mountains kneeling felten and grey
We thought our very hearts would up and melt away
From that snow in the nighttime
Just going
And going
And the stirring of wind chimes
In the morning
In the morning
Helps me find my way back in
From the place where I have been
And Emily I saw you last night by the river
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
Frowning at the angle where they were lost and slipped under forever
In a mud-cloud mica-spangled like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
Anyhow I sat by your side by the water
You taught me the names of the stars overhead
That I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those Pleiades loosed in December
I promised you I'd set them to verse so I'd always remember
That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid
Of the fire that propelled it to thee
And the meteorite's just what causes the light
And the meteor's how it's perceived
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void
That lies quiet and offering to thee
You came and lay a cold compress upon the mess I'm in
Threw the windows wide and cried "Amen Amen Amen"
The whole world stopped to hear you hollering
You looked down and saw now what was happening
The lines are fading in my kingdom
Though I have never known the way to border them in
So the muddy mouths of baboons
And sows and the grouse and the horse and the hen
Grope at the gate of the looming lake that was once a tidy pen
And the mail is late and the great estates are not lit from within
The talk in town's becoming downright sickening
In due time we will see the far buttes lit by a flare
I've seen your bravery and I will follow you there
And row through the nighttime
So healthy
Gone healthy all of a sudden
In search of a midwife
Who can help me
Who can help me
Help me find my way back in
And there are worries where I've been
Say say say in the lee of the bay don't be bothered
Leave your troubles here where the tugboats shear the water from the water
Flanked by furrows curling back like a match held up to a newspaper
Emily they'll follow your lead by the letter
And I make this claim and I'm not ashamed to say I know you better
What they've seen is just a beam of your sun that banishes winter
Let us go though we know it's a hopeless endeavor
The ties that bind they are barbed and spined and hold us close forever
Though there is nothing would help me come to grips with a sky
That is gaping and yawning
There is a song I woke with on my lips
As you sailed your great ship towards the morning
Come on home the poppies are all grown knee-deep by now
Blossoms all have fallen and the pollen ruins the plow
Peonies nod in the breeze and while they wetly bow
With hydrocephalitic listlessness ants mop up their brow
And everything with wings is restless aimless drunk and dour
The butterflies and birds collide at hot ungodly hours
And my clay-colored motherlessness rangily reclines
Come on home now All my bones are dolorous with vines
Pa pointed out to me for the hundredth time tonight
The way the ladle leads to a dirt-red bullet of light
Squint skyward and listen
Loving him we move within his borders
Just asterisms in the stars' set order
We could stand for a century
Staring
With our heads cocked
In the broad daylight at this thing
Joy
Landlocked
In bodies that don't keep
Dumbstruck with the sweetness of being
Until we don't be told
Take this
And eat this
Told the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid
Of the fire that propelled it to thee
And the meteorite's just what causes the light
And the meteor's how it's perceived
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void
That lies quiet and offering to thee
