There's a rooster, a hen
A black dog by my kid in the yard
And I've tattooed the head
Of the woman I've wed on my arm
We sit on the lawn
And she winks and she yawns at the sound
That the setting sun makes as it lights up the lake
And goes down
And you ease my troubles with your hands
Like the night puts a calm on the valley
Moved my shaking castle from the sand
When you gave me your soul for to marry
The cicadas in tune ain't too noisy for you but too fast
As the night eases in
Like dark wine on our skin and the grass
Now the moon's high above
You're the woman I've loved for so long
It's the last goodnight kiss
And these moments I miss when you're gone
And you ease my troubles with your hands
Like the night puts a calm on the valley
Moved my shaking castle from the sand
When you gave me your soul for to marry
A choice of two moods for tonight.
I heard this for the first time today and did my best to let it sink deep into my bones. Another one of those circumstances where i'm fairly certain i'm in the >1% of fans who know this song exists, the internets a funny place. Kind of like how 20 years ago if you spent enough time crate digging in record stores you'd a couple jewels, in 2016 if you stare at the matrix code long enough you find the white rabbits trail. Remember that time I bumped into Sam Beam on the street?
