Sprout And The Bean - Joanna Newsom

I slept all day 
I woke with distaste 
And i railed 
And i raved 

That the difference between 
The sprout and the bean 
It is a golden ring 
It is a twisted string 

And you can ask the counsellor 
You can ask the king 
And they'll say the same thing 
And it's a funny thing 

Should we go outside 
Should we go outside 
Should we break some bread 
Are y'interested 

And as i said 
I slept as though dead 
Dreaming seamless dreams 
Of lead 

When you go away 
I am big-boned and fey 
In the dust of the day 
And in the dirt of the day 

And the danger, danger drawing near them was a white coat 
And the danger, danger drawing near them was a broad boat 
And the water, water running clear beneath a white throat 
And the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles 
Who know th'outside 
Should we go outside 
Should we break some bread 
Are y'interested
