[00:07.55]Do you still sing of the mountain bed
[00:10.50]We made of limbs and leaves:
[00:13.12]
[00:14.74]Do you still sigh there near the sky
[00:17.29]Where the holly berry bleeds:
[00:20.14]
[00:23.02]You laughed as I covered you over
[00:25.79]With leaves face breast hips and thighs
[00:29.07]
[00:31.80]You smiled when I said the leaves were
[00:34.43]Just the color of your eyes
[00:37.89]
[01:13.98]Rosin smells and turpentine smells
[01:17.00]From eucalyptus and pine
[01:19.32]
[01:21.12]Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed
[01:24.00]Where tangled woodvines twine
[01:26.12]
[01:29.32]Trees held us in on all four sides so thick
[01:33.40]We could not see
[01:34.98]
[01:38.64]I could not see any wrong in you
[01:41.47]And you saw none in me
[01:43.90]
[01:55.50]Your arm was brown against the ground
[01:58.89]Your cheeks part of the sky
[02:01.48]
[02:03.14]As your fingers played with grassy moss
[02:05.98]And limber did you lie:
[02:08.26]
[02:11.24]Your stomach moved beneath your shirt
[02:14.56]And your knees were in the air
[02:17.07]
[02:20.03]Your feet played games with mountain roots
[02:23.47]As you lay thinking there
[02:25.95]
[02:32.37]Below us the trees grew clumps of trees
[02:35.78]Raised families of trees and they
[02:38.14]
[02:39.74]As proud as we tossed their heads
[02:42.42]In the wind and flung good seeds away:
[02:45.12]
[02:47.86]The sun was hot and the sun
[02:50.39]Was bright down in the valley below
[02:53.48]
[02:56.95]Where people starved and hungry
[02:58.92]For life so empty come and go
[03:02.31]
[03:08.91]There in the shade and hid from
[03:11.16]The sun we freed our minds and learned
[03:14.45]
[03:16.19]Our greatest reason for being here
[03:19.03]Our bodies moved and burned
[03:21.49]
[03:24.44]There on our mountain bed of leaves
[03:26.63]
[03:27.14]We learned lifes reason why
[03:29.61]
[03:33.08]The people laugh and love and dream
[03:36.00]They fight they hate to die
[03:38.55]
[03:44.73]The smell of your hair I know is still there
[03:48.24]If most of our leaves are blown
[03:50.81]
[03:52.27]Our words still ring in the brush
[03:54.46]And the trees where singing seeds are sown
[03:57.05]
[04:00.04]Your shape and form is dim
[04:02.14]But plain there on our mountain bed
[04:05.53]
[04:08.45]I see my life was brightest where you laughed
[04:12.72]And laid your head
[04:14.13]
[04:25.87]I learned the reason why man must work
[04:29.15]And how to dream big dreams
[04:31.70]
[04:33.28]To conquer time and space
[04:35.18]And fight the rivers and the seas
[04:38.52]
[04:41.03]I stand here filled with my emptiness now
[04:43.98]
[04:44.55]And look at city and land
[04:46.82]
[04:49.50]And I know why farms and cities are built
[04:52.77]By hot warm nervous hands
[04:55.87]
[05:01.58]I crossed many states just to stand here now
[05:04.65]My face all hot with tears
[05:07.44]
[05:08.78]I crossed city and valley desert and stream
[05:12.63]To bring my body here:
[05:14.24]
[05:16.71]My history and future blaze bright in me
[05:19.67]
[05:20.22]And all my joy and pain
[05:22.51]
[05:25.31]Go through my head on our mountain bed
[05:28.44]Where I smell your hair again
[05:30.57]
[05:37.30]All this day long I linger here
[05:39.58]
[05:40.38]And on in through the night
[05:42.58]
[05:44.60]My greeds desires my cravings hopes
[05:47.85]My dreams inside me fight:
[05:50.00]
[05:52.70]My loneliness healed my emptiness filled
[05:55.74]
[05:56.81]I walk above all pain
[05:58.72]
[06:01.67]Back to the breasts of my woman and child
[06:04.76]To scatter my seeds again
