Them Bird Things - The Bride Who Came to Yellow Sky lyrics

Came from a far, far country And lived in the sauna Til thaw We died in the delta The following fall Built a cabin of conifers By the bend in the river With plans for a shed And stable God willing if we're able Strung wire for sheep We could not afford Pumped an organ And prayed to the Lord Every Sunday In a tent No one even remembers my name The bride who came to Yellow Sky We perished in anomity And drowned by the shore One d**h is a tragedy A thousand are a bore Shared a quilt And scurvy and scabies Ate fatback and beans But no greens A maiden blossoms in her teens Pennyroyal tea It's not the time for me All's for naught The corn will rot In its crib Embers spark and Leave ash on the hearth So we died And were planted and mixed with earth Like breathing dust to dearth
