Commonfolksong Lyrics by ​xgum

pinkgum

2023

I had a dream I was left upstream
With a hacksaw chore and a paper oar
When I awoke
I was a common folk
With eleven teeth and my holly wreath
Holly wreath
Holly wreath
I had a chat with an alley cat
Saying catcher feet keep us on the streets
The cat was yawning
And I was sobbing
Like pathos patterns its quilt wall
No use weeping for a human being
Human being
Barks he wants to be a monsta
Human being
But he doggin' a park
Bend my neck for a sip of water
Face to face when an angry otter
I paced in circles around the bay
Tied up boxes squared away
Squared away
Squared away
If thou draw out thy soul to the starvеd
And satisfy afflicted soul
Then shall thy light rise in obscurity
Thy darknеss be as dim as the noonday
I wish the hill the be there still!
Collecting rocks in worn out socks
I wish the best of bird and nest
Yet still the tree I wish were free
Wish were free
Wish were free
The widower spools, her grey hair pools
About her heels where her puppy kneels
She frets the quilt her boned hands built
Will body conform but not keep warm
Not keep warm
Write what you want of the moon
Not keep warm
Write what you want of the moon
Bend my neck for a sip of water
Face to face when an angry otter
I paced in circles around the bay
Tied up boxes squared away
Squared away
Squared away
If thou draw out thy soul to the starved
And satisfy afflicted soul
Then shall thy light rise in obscurity
Thy darkness be as dim as the noonday
