Esame
Joanna Newsom

I can feel a difference,ntoday, a difference.nAll of us in a our townsnfearing God like a mistress.nWe lay on our box, in the sun,nwatching you and your women.nSat up and blinked when you appearednSo pale you were nearly clear.nLater I stumbled to my bednall alone in the branches.nI laid in the darknthinking about all of my friends and their changesnnAnd I do not know if you know just what you have done.nYou were the sweetest one I have ever laid my eyes upon.nIt's a beautiful town with the rain coming down,nBlackberry, Rosemary, Jimmy Crack Corn.nYou've got the run of the place now that you're running around.nAnd may kindness, kindness, kindness abound.nnIn this hour of our lives,nour effortless plenty.nHow do we know which parts of our heartsnwant what with such base generosity?nTaking so many photographs,nso amazed, we've never seen a baby so newly born.nAnd the bulbs do flash as bright as morning;nthis crowd keeps on gathering like an electric storm.nThe phantom of love moves among us at will,neach phantom in us has got an angel.nSo confused, like the wagging ghost tail of a bulldog,nkindness, kindness prevails!nnKindness prevails! nTies and rails, ties and rails,nfall into lines bearing kindness.nWhere will you go if not here;nWhat will you say when you write to us?nAnd this is a world of terrible hardshipneverywhere on our search for words to set you at ease.nBut there in the looking glass a kite is soaringnstill in my roaring heart and my trembling knees.nClean as a breeze, bright as a day,nall of the people gather to say,nSweet Esame, sweet Esame.nOh, oh, oh...nI believe love will always surround you,nbrave as a bear, with a heart rare and true.nBut If you are scared, if you are blue,nI've prepared a small song for younnSweet Esame, sweet Esame.
