[00:12.30]I went down to the place
[00:15.39]Where I knew she lay waiting
[00:17.93]Under the marble and the snow
[00:22.74]I said, "Mother I'm frightened
[00:26.30]The thunder and the lightning
[00:29.00]I'll never come through this alone"
[00:33.78]She said, "I'll be with you
[00:36.47]My shawl wrapped around you
[00:39.11]My hand on your head when you go"
[00:44.42]And the night came on
[00:47.36]It was very calm
[00:49.96]I wanted the night to go on and on
[00:55.26]But she said, "Go back, go back to the world"
[01:03.20]
[01:05.85]We were fightin' in Egypt
[01:08.29]When they signed this agreement
[01:11.09]That nobody else had to die
[01:14.97]There was this terrible sound
[01:19.12]My father went down
[01:21.33]With a terrible wound in his side
[01:26.04]He said, "Try to go on
[01:29.34]Take my books, take my gun
[01:32.24]Remember, my son, how they lied"
[01:36.59]And the night comes on
[01:40.52]It's very calm
[01:43.02]I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
[01:48.01]But you don't want to lie, not to the young
[01:54.05]
[01:58.61]We were locked in this kitchen
[02:00.30]I took to religion
[02:03.69]And I wondered how long she would stay
[02:08.99]I needed so much
[02:11.54]To have nothing to touch
[02:14.19]I've always been greedy that way
[02:18.19]But my son and my daughter
[02:21.88]Climbed out of the water
[02:24.67]Crying, "Papa, you promised to play"
[02:29.91]And they lead me away
[02:32.81]To the great surprise
[02:35.17]It's "Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes"
[02:40.01]And they hide, they hide in the world
[02:45.90]
[02:50.59]Now I look for her always
[02:53.54]I'm lost in this calling
[02:56.15]I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
[03:00.74]Saying, "When will she summon me
[03:03.98]When will she come to me
[03:06.44]What must I do to prepare"
[03:10.23]When she bends to my longing
[03:13.78]Like a willow, like a fountain
[03:16.43]She stands in the luminous air
[03:21.93]And the night comes on
[03:24.42]It's very calm
[03:26.87]I lie in her arms, she says, "When I'm gone
[03:31.67]I'll be yours, yours for a song"
[03:37.36]
[03:42.26]Now the crickets are singing
[03:45.06]The vesper bells ringing
[03:47.17]The cat's curled asleep in his chair
[03:52.49]I'll go down to Bill's Bar
[03:55.14]I can make it that far
[03:57.74]And I'll see if my friends are still there
[04:02.83]Yes, and here's to the few
[04:05.34]Who forgive what you do
[04:07.58]And the fewer who don't even care
[04:12.83]And the night comes on
[04:15.13]It's very calm
[04:17.71]I want to cross over, I want to go home
[04:23.58]But she says, "Go back, go back to the world"
