Testo Sadie - Joanna Newsom
Testo della canzone Sadie (Joanna Newsom), tratta dall'album The Milk-Eyed Mender
Sadie Whitecoat
You carry me home
And bury this bone
And take this pinecone
Bury this bone
To gnaw on it later
Gnawing on the telephone
Until 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 I almost heard you
And all that we build
And all that we breathe
And all that we spill
Or pulled up like weeds
Is piled up and back
And it burns irrevocably
And we spoke up in turns
'Til a silence crept over me
And bless you and I deeply do
No longer resolute
Oh, 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 had come for you
And down where I darn with the milk I'd mender
You and I and a love so tender
Stretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage
Bless our house and its heart so savage
And all that I want
And all that I need
And all that I 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 fawns and ferns
And the love we hold
And the love we spurn
Will never grow cold
No, only taciturn
And I'll tell you tomorrow
Oh, Sadie, go on home now
And bless those who sicken below
And bless us who have chosen so
And all that I got
And all that I need
I tie and I 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 pinecone, Sadie
