Shown to me through the curtain Two at sitting, pouring wine Gla**es fill, then the empty Dirty certain outlines mime In the bloom find the phrases Hear their tremors give away All the weight they are throwing Amounts to nothing, the grander play Let go of the precious- so sweet Bore honey holes- in me To prance in spite- The laughter fills the cavern Swing low my precious- wade deep In facey seas- the weak Offerings- ashes on the altar Sordid deeds news the knell tolls Set the blazing rumors free On the good backs the wicked Ride to victory, by decree So hide the need from the gazers Shortage foreseen from inside What remains of alligators Will make cases for the ride
Let go of the precious- so sweet Bore honey holes- in me To prance in spite- The laughter fills the cavern Swing low my precious- wade deep In facey seas- the weak Offerings- ashes on the altar He cries, with weathervanes in his eyes So why would he stay when there is no surer way Before tomorrow comes a time Crush the budding blinders in his mind 'cause it is so hard, long yards The wheel ruts, so turn-turn turn-turn, turn-turn turn-turn Let go of the precious- so sweet Bore honey holes- in me To prance in spite- The laughter fills the cavern Swing low my precious- wade deep In facey seas- the weak Offerings- ashes on the altar
