I remember my Mother's Sister's Husband's Brother Workin' in the goldmine, full-time Fillin' in for sunshine Filin' into tight-lines Ordinary Beehives The door screams: I hate you, hate you Hangin' 'round my bluejeans Why's there no breeze? No current sea of leaves? No current through the water, why? No feelings I can see? I trust no emotion I believe in locomotion I turn to rust as we've discussed Though I must have let you down too many times In the dirt And the dust I have no idea how this happens
All of my maps have been overthrown Happenstance has changed my glance So many times my heart has been outgrown Now everybody's feelin' all alone Can't tell you who I am When everybody's feelin' all alone Can't tell you who I am I am looking forward Toward the shadow's tracing bones Our faces stitched and sewing Our houses hemmed into homes Trying to be thankful Our stories fit into phones Our voices lift so easily A gift given accidentally When we're not sure We're not alone
