Lyrics

[Verse] Joey, I hid it, in the skull of a fox Along with several other things that you've lost Joey, you can get it the moment I'm gone The days of counting years are over And but the day that's here is just begun [Verse] Oh, you step on that back porch It's my very last spring Blossoms here could fall for hours In seconds seedlings spring to trees [Verse] And some say it's awful Dying this way Not shot to death by a crazy farmer But hung to fade like braids of macramé [Verse] The last of the peaches Still clung to the bough I'd sooner be flung to the sun Than fall to the ground [Verse] The moment I touch dirt That stone in my heart Will grow in mе, grow in me, grow in me Till it tears mе apart [Verse] Let the storm clouds above me Violently rage Oh, I'd sooner be bathing with penguins Who speak the language of rain [Verse] For the moment I do so Even one word comes unbidden Down pours a heartbreaking song About my love for the living [Verse] In the sorrow of endings But the joy of what was And so on and so forth and so on Till the neighborhood floods
