Lyrics

Golden thimble tucked away
In a box of yesterday
Would you tell me if you could
What went down in the old pine wood?

Cries of the newborn, crackling fire
Fiddles and voices and steel on the wire
Dead on the table, kiss at the door
Black iron skillet hungry for more

There, simplicity, she’s dreaming
Floating out on the lotus lake
You said that once was now the future
So tell me why can’t you let me make my own mistake?

Out in the morning with the chickens and dogs
Dad’s at the river and he’s driving the logs
The radio plays our heavenly souls
You and mama sit there sewing up holes
