[written by Will Oldham, published by royal stable music (ascap)]
it's us i liken to a covey
a polar bear has breached a
pup
the palace walls are
strewn with tapestries
and the window panes are
splintered and shattered
with a crumbled dog
on every landing
and every stranger cowers
the dress is torn,
the tone demanding
the canine's latent strength
and would her loins
would yield a yelp
a beating purr to steal the
time with
here's where we walk,
hand in hand
o how i despise it
o how i enjoy the light
of the first morning forever
wisdom, wealth tag
on like afterbirth
i will love you forever
and if i don't
and if i do
the difference exists in a
fiction
the day has cooled,
the time will too
and we will call upon the light
