| Baby Birch
This is the song for Baby Birch
Oh I will never know you
And at the back of what we've done
There is the knowledge of you
Well I wish we could take every path
I could spend a hundred years adoring you
Yes, I wish we could take every path
Because I hated to close the door on you
Do you remember staring up at the stars
So far away in their bulletproof cars
When we heard the rushing, slow intake
Of the dark, dark water, and the engine breaks
And I said
How about them engine breaks
And, if I should die before I wake
Will you keep an eye on Baby Birch
Because I'd hate to see her make the same mistakes
When it was dark
I called and you came
When it was dark
I saw shapes
When I see stars
I feel, in your hand
And I see stars
And I reel, again
Well mercy me, I'll be goddamned
It's been a long, long time
Since I last saw you
And I have never known the plan
It's been a long, long time
How are you
Your eyes are green
Your hair is gold
Your hair is black
Your eyes are blue
I closed the ranks, and I doubled back
But, you know, I hated to close the dog-gone door on you
We take a walk along the dirty lake
Hear the goose cussing at me over her eggs
You poor little cousin, I don't want your dregs
A little baby fussing all over my legs
There is a blacksmith
And there is a shepherd
And there is a butcher boy
And there is a barber, who's cutting
And cutting away at my only joy
I saw a rabbit
As slick as a knife
And as pale as a candlestick
And I had thought it'd be harder to do
But I caught her, and skinned her quick
Held her there
Kicking and mewling
Upending, unspooling, unsung and blue
Told her "wherever you go
Little runaway bunny
I will find you"
And then she ran
As they're liable to do
Be at peace, baby
And be gone
Be at peace, baby
And be gone
