Baby Birch
Joanna Newsom

This is the song for Baby BirchnI will never know younAnd at the back of what we've donenThere is that knowledge of younnI wish we could take every pathnI could spend a hundred years adoring younYes, I wish we could take every path,nBecause I hated to close the door on younnDo you remember staring up at the starsnSo far away in their bulletproof carsnWe heard the rushing, slow intakenOf the dark, dark waternAnd the engine breaksnnAnd I saidnHow about them engine breaksnAnd, if I should die before I wakenWill you keep an eye on Baby BirchnBecause I'd hate to see hernMake the same mistakesnnWhen it was dark I called and you camenWhen it was dark I saw shapesnWhen I see stars I feel in your hand,nAnd I see stars and I reel, againnnWell mercy me, I'll be goddamnednIt's been a long long time since I last saw younAnd I have never known the plannIt's been a long, long time, how are younnYour eyes are green, your hair is goldnYour hair is black, your eyes are bluenI closed the ranks and I doubled backnBut you know, I hated to close the door on younnWe take a walk along the dirty lakenHear the goose cussing at me over her eggsnYou poor little cousinnI don't want your dregsnA little baby fussing all over my legsnnThere is a blacksmith and there is a shepherd and there is a butcher-boynAnd there is a barber who's cutting and cutting away at my only joynI saw a rabbit as slick as a knife and as pale as a candlesticknAnd I had thought it'd be harder to do but I caught her and skinned her quicknHeld her there kicking and mewling, upended, unspooling, unsung and bluenTold her wherever you go, little runaway bunny I will find younAnd then she rannAs they're liable to donnBe at peace, baby, and begone
