about

Multi-guitar arrangement of Joanna Newsom's charming harp song

lyrics

I slept all day
I woke with distaste
and I railed,
and I raved

That the difference between
the sprout and the bean
it is a golden ring,
it is a twisted string.
And you can ask the councillor;
and you can ask the king;
and they'll say the same thing;
and it's a funny thing:

Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?

And as I said,
I slept as though dead
dreaming seamless dreams of lead.

When you go away,
I am big-boned and fey
in the dust of the day,
and in the dirt of the day.

And the Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a white coat,
and Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a broad boat,
And the water! water!
Running clear beneath a white throat,
and the hollow chatter
of the talking of the tadpoles,
who know th'outside!
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
