Seventeen men in cold, and weathered shackles They play for me, pans in the place Of the space in the chains, the company arranged But please, you don't know where you're from Seventeen girls dance into the garden They sing for me: "No, I'll never change" I'll stay the same, got my baby with me And I know how that train is rollin' Down they crawl Back to the streams From the sounds that they made It's a shame we pray It's a shame we pray 'cause we're all really loud Seventeen hours swirling about her They count for me One was at peace, and two was at one While the rest as they fell Couldn't count anymore I was cold 'til the morning wind came Down they crawl Back to the streams From the sounds that they made It's a shame we pray It's a shame we pray 'cause we're all really loud Seventeen bores Tearin' from the mountains They speak to me: I'm an apple-dripping... [?] Down they crawl Back to the streams From the sounds that they made It's a shame we pray It's a shame we pray 'cause we're all really loud
