[00:00.14]So, so long ago,
[00:05.49]and so far away,
[00:10.66]when Time was just a line
[00:15.82]that you fed me,
[00:20.96]when you wanted to stay,
[00:31.25]we'd talk
[00:36.38]as soft as chalk,
[00:41.52]till morning came, as pale as a pearl:
[00:46.78]No time!
[00:51.92]No, no time!
[00:57.04]Now, I have got all the time
[01:02.17]in the world.
[01:38.40][01:12.49]Say, honey, did you belong to me?
[01:17.64]Tell me, honey,
[01:22.81]was your heart at rest when, darlin,
[01:27.96]all the mourning doves were howling us
[01:33.11]a song of love's
[01:33.25]godawful lawlessness?
[01:43.55]Tell me, darlin, did I pass your test?
[01:48.70]I lay, as still as death, until the dawn,
[01:53.86]whereupon I wrested from
[01:59.01]that godawful lawlessness.
[02:09.33]I roam around the tidy grounds
[02:14.49]of my dappled sanatorium.
[02:19.65]Coatless, I sit
[02:24.81]amongst the moles, adrift,
[02:24.97]and I dote upon my pinesap gum.
[02:30.11]And the light, through the pines,
[02:35.27]in brassy tines,
[02:40.42]lays over me, dim as rum
[02:45.59]and thick as molasses.
[02:50.77]And so time passes.
[02:55.94]And so, my heart, tomorrow comes.
[03:01.22]I feel you, leaning,
[03:06.37]out back with the crickets,
[03:11.53]loyal heart marking the soon-ness,
[03:16.71]darkness:
[03:21.88]tonight, still,
[03:27.05]the mourning doves
[03:32.21]will summon us their song
[03:37.35]of love's neverdoneing lawlessness
[03:42.65]while, over and over--
[03:47.80]rear up! stand down! lay round!--
[03:52.95]trying to sound-out,
[03:58.13]or guess the reasons,
[04:03.29]I sleep like a soldier, without rest.
[04:08.45]But there is no treason,
[04:13.61]where there is only lawlessness.
[04:18.95]In the last week
[04:24.10]of the last year I was aware,
[04:29.25]I took a blind shot, across the creek,
[04:34.42]at the black bear,
[04:39.56]when he roused me in the night,
[04:44.73]and left me cowering with my light,
[04:49.87]calling out
[05:51.88][05:05.33][04:55.03]Who is there?
[05:00.16]Who's there?
[05:15.67]I watched you sleep,
[05:20.79]repeating my prayer.
[05:25.94](Give love a little shove
[05:31.08]and it becomes terror.)
[05:31.24]Now I am calling,
[05:36.41]in a sadness beyond anger
[05:41.57]and beyond fear,
[05:46.75]Who is there? Who's there?
