Oh can you hear me? 
Am I moving in my own way? 
Faith is a cradle 
Then the wind blows 
And the bough breaks 

I'm hard at work breeding devils 
A martyr, oh, do that real good 
I harbor jealous angels 
Bound in glamor to my wrist 

Time is a cruel thing 
It's a cold rain on a slow day 
Fate like a flower 
'Til the wheel turns and the veil fades 

The forest grows violet rivers 
The dead fall throws back our laughter 
Tomorrow taps my shoulder 
Add a memory to my list 

Oh, Mother help me 
You were singing 
I was dreaming 
Hope plays a banjo 
Is a bell shape 
Does you real good 

I found her own reckless ocean 
I found her own golden shadow 
I found her silver ladle 
Holding water to my lips 
Golden water to my lips
