[00:00.300]Driven through by her own sword
[00:11.611]Summer died last night, alone
[00:20.885]Even the ghosts
[00:25.091]Huddled up for warmth
[00:33.685]Autumn has come to my hometown
[00:44.186]Friendly voices, dead and gone
[00:54.818]Singing, Star of the country down...
[01:04.196](Even the ghosts help raise the barn
[01:16.578]Here, now, in my hometown)
[01:23.448]
[01:32.251]When, out of the massing
[01:34.550]That bodes and bides, in the cold west
[01:48.291]Flew a waxwing, who froze
[01:51.608]And died against my breast!
[02:03.233]All the while, rain
[02:05.244]Like a weed in the tide
[02:10.260]Swans and lists
[02:17.469]Down on the gossiping lawns
[02:25.489]Saying tsk tsk tsk
[02:31.262]I may have changed. It's hard to gauge
[02:41.711]Time won't account for how I've aged
[02:51.585]Would I could tie your lying tongue
[03:02.792]Who says that leaving keeps you young
[03:13.293]I have got no control
[03:24.264]Over my heart, over my mind
[03:33.877]Over the hills, the rainclouds roll
[03:44.483]I'll winter here, wait for a sign
[03:52.424]
[03:57.362]To cast myself out
[04:01.228]Over the water
[04:03.892]Riven like a wishbone
[04:10.449]You'd hardly guess
[04:14.341]I was my own mother's daughter;
[04:19.357]I ain't naturally given to roam
[04:26.854]I lay low, when I return
[04:32.914]And I move
[04:34.168]Like a gurney
[04:37.590]Whose wheels are squeaking
[04:42.945]Alone, here in my home
[04:47.334]And I laugh
[04:48.640]When you speak of my pleasure-seeking
[04:58.723]Among the tall pines
[05:08.650]Along the ley-lines
[05:18.602]Here, where the loon keens
[05:28.764]There, where the moon leans
[05:38.717]There
[05:39.944]Where I know my violent love lays down
[05:49.636]In a row of silent, dove-gray days
[05:59.040]Here, in a row of silent, dove-gray days
[06:09.358]Wherever I go, I am snowbound
[06:18.371]By thoughts of him
[06:22.028]Whom I would sun
[06:28.715]I loved them all
[06:34.227]One by one
[06:38.772]Cannot gain ground
[06:43.762]Cannot outrun;
[06:49.848]But time marches along
[07:00.245]You can't always stick around
[07:09.153]But, when the final count is done
[07:17.590]I will be in my hometown
[07:27.203]I will be in my hometown
[07:39.167]
