Wildflower and Barley (feat. Allison Russell)

[00:18.66] Springtime in the country
[00:24.82] Each time I'm shocked by the light
[00:29.63] The world lying fallow and you are apart from me
[00:34.95] Everything in my vision
[00:37.30] Is movement and life
[00:40.31] Riverboat, wheelbarrow
[00:43.24] Wildflower and barley
[00:47.60] Springtime in the country
[00:52.74] I can smell summer on its breath
[00:58.32] Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me
[01:02.97] Everything in my vision
[01:06.01] Departure, and death
[01:08.93] Riverboat, wheelbarrow
[01:11.53] Wildflower, and barley
[01:14.33] (The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions
[01:19.82] (Are healing) This year, I swear it will be buried in words
[01:24.94] (The diggers are digging the earth) Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
[01:30.48] I feel as useful as dirt
[01:34.30] Put my body to work
[01:37.98] Mm, mm
[01:44.18] Springtime in the city
[01:49.85] The canal banks are empty again
[01:54.84] Grass crying out to be heated by bodies
[01:59.89] The street is for the laughter of young women and men
[02:06.34] Canal boat and trolley
[02:08.92] Wildflower and barley
[02:11.29] (The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions
[02:17.05] (Are healing) This year, I swear it will be buried in words
[02:22.12] (The diggers are digging the earth) Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
[02:28.02] I feel as useful as dirt
[02:31.95] Unreal, unearth
[02:34.38] (The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions
[02:39.64] (Are healing) This year, I swear it will be buried in words
[02:44.78] (The diggers are digging the earth) Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
[02:50.34] I feel as useful as dirt
[02:54.14] Put my body to work
[02:57.79] Mm (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[03:00.49] Mm (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[03:04.15] Springtime from my window
[03:09.74] Another month has not much longer now
[03:14.81] The sun hesitates more
[03:17.73] On each evening's darkening
[03:21.06] Would all things God allows
[03:24.35] Remain above ground?
[03:27.45] Like grief and sweet memory
[03:30.60] Wildflower and barley
[03:34.26]
