commonfolksong Lyrics

I had a dream I was left upstream

With a hacksaw chore and a paper oar

When I awoke

I was a common folk

With eleven teeth and my holly wreath

Holly wreath

Holly wreath

I had a chat with an alley cat

Saying catcher feet keep us on the streets

The cat was yawning

And I was sobbing

Like pathos patterns its quilt wall

No use weeping for a human being

Human being

Barks he wants to be a monsta

Human being

But he doggin' a park

Bend my neck for a sip of water

Face to face when an angry otter

I paced in circles around the bay

Tied up boxes squared away

Squared away

Squared away

If thou draw out thy soul to the starved

And satisfy afflicted soul

Then shall thy light rise in obscurity

Thy darkness be as dim as the noonday

I wish the hill the be there still!

Collecting rocks in worn out socks

I wish the best of bird and nest

Yet still the tree I wish were free

Wish were free

Wish were free

The widower spools, her grey hair pools

About her heels where her puppy kneels

She frets the quilt her boned hands built

Will body conform but not keep warm

Not keep warm

Write what you want of the moon

Not keep warm

Write what you want of the moon

Bend my neck for a sip of water

Face to face when an angry otter

I paced in circles around the bay

Tied up boxes squared away

Squared away

Squared away

If thou draw out thy soul to the starved

And satisfy afflicted soul

Then shall thy light rise in obscurity

Thy darkness be as dim as the noonday
