[00:06.74]This is the song for Baby Birch.
[00:11.93]I will never know you.
[00:17.07]And at the back of what we've done,
[00:22.22]there is that knowledge of you.
[00:32.53]I wish we could take every path.
[00:32.68]I could spend a hundred years
[00:37.83]adoring you.
[00:42.98]Yes, I wish we could take every path,
[00:48.14]because I hated to close
[03:38.37][00:53.30]the door on you.
[01:03.61]Do you remember staring,
[01:08.77]up at the stars,
[01:13.93]so far away in their bulletproof cars?
[01:19.08]We heard the rushing, slow intake
[01:24.23]of the dark, dark water,
[01:29.38]and the engine breaks,
[01:34.53]and I said,
[01:44.83]How about them engine breaks?
[01:49.98]And, if I should die before I wake,
[01:55.14]will you keep an eye on Baby Birch?
[01:55.30]Because I'd hate to see her
[02:00.46]make the same mistakes.
[02:10.77]When it was dark,
[02:15.93]I called and you came.
[02:21.09]When it was dark, I saw shapes.
[02:26.24]When I see stars, I feel, in your hand,
[02:31.39]and I see stars,
[02:36.54]and I reel, again.
[02:46.85]Well mercy me. I'll be goddamned.
[02:51.99]It's been a long, long time
[02:57.15]since I last saw you.
[03:02.30]And I have never known the plan.
[03:07.46]It's been a long, long time.
[03:12.61]How are you?
[03:17.77]Your eyes are green. Your hair is gold.
[03:22.91]Your hair is black. Your eyes are blue.
[03:28.07]I closed the ranks, and I doubled back--
[03:33.21]but, you know, I hated to close
[03:48.68]We take a walk along the dirty lake.
[03:53.83]Hear the goose,
[03:58.98]cussing at me over her eggs.
[04:04.15]You poor little cousin.
[04:09.31]I don't want your dregs
[04:14.45](A little baby fussing all over my legs).
[04:24.75]There is a blacksmith,
[04:24.92]and there is a shepherd,
[04:30.06]and there is a butcher-boy,
[04:35.23]and there is a barber, who's cutting
[04:40.38]and cutting away at my only joy.
[04:45.54]I saw a rabbit,
[04:50.71]as slick as a knife,
[04:55.87]and as pale as a candlestick,
[05:01.03]and I had thought it'd be harder to do,
[05:06.20]but I caught her, and skinned her quick:
[05:11.36]held her there,
[05:16.52]kicking and mewling,
[05:21.67]upended, unspooling, unsung and blue;
[05:21.84]told her "wherever you go,
[05:26.99]little runaway bunny,
[05:32.16]I will find you."
[05:37.30]And then she ran,
[05:42.47]as they're liable to do.
[05:52.78]Be at peace, baby, and begone.
