Текст песни Soft As Chalk - Joanna Newsom
So,
so
long
ago,
and
so
far
away
When
time
was
just
a
line
That
you
fed
me
when
you
wanted
to
stay
We'd
talk
as
soft
as
chalk
Till
morning
came,
Pale
as
a
pearl
No
time,
no
time
Now
I
have
got
all
the
time
in
the
world
Say,
honey
did
you
belong
to
me?
Tell
me,
honey,
was
your
heart
at
rest
When,
darlin
all
the
morning
doves
were
howling
out
Their
song
of
love,
oh
godawful
lawlessness?
Lawlessness.
Say
honey,
did
you
belong
to
me?
Tell
me,
darlin,
did
I
pass
the
test?
I
lay
as
still
as
death
until
the
dawn
Whereupon
I
rested
from
your
godawful
lawlessness.
Lawlessness!
I
roamed
around
the
tidy
grounds
Of
my
dapple
sanatorium
Coat-less
I
sit,
among
the
moles
adrift
And
I
dote
upon
my
pinesap
gum.
And
the
light
through
the
pines
in
brassy
tines
Lays
over
me,
dim
as
rum
Thick
as
molasses,
and
so
time
passes
And
so
my
heart,
tomorrow
comes
And
I
see
you
leaning
out
back
with
the
crickets
Loyal
heart
marking
the
soon-ness,
darkness
tonight.
Still
the
morning
doves
will
summon
us
their
song
of
love
Never
dulling
lawlessness.
Lawlessness!
Well
over
and
over
we're
up
and
down,
around,
Trying
to
sound
out
or
guess
the
reasons.
I
sleep
like
a
soldier
without
breath
But
there's
no
treason
where
there
is
only
lawlessness.
Lawlessness!
In
the
last
week
of
the
last
year,
I
was
aware.
Took
a
blind
shot
across
the
creek
at
the
black
bear.
When
he
roused
me
in
the
night
And
left
me
cowering
with
my
light,
calling
out...
Who
is
there?
Who's
there?
Who
IS
there?
Well
I
watched
you
sleep,
repeating
my
prayers.
You
give
love
a
little
shove
and
it
becomes...
terror.
And
now
I
am
calling
in
sadness,
beyond
anger
and
beyond
fear
Who
is
there?
Who's
there?
And
who
IS
there?
I
glare
and
nod
like
the
character,
God,
Bearing
down
upon
our
houses
and
lawns.
I
knew
a
little
bit,
and
darling
you
were
it,
And,
darling,
now
it
is
long
gone.
Sweetheart,
you
your
clean
bright
start,
Back
there
behind
the
hill
and
the
dell.
In
the
state
line
of
twelve
I'll
be
thinking
on
you,
Yes
I'll
be
thinking
and
be
wishing
you
well.
We
land,
I
stand,
but
I
wait
for
the
sound
of
the
bell.
I
have
to
catch
a
cab
and
my
bags
are
at
the
carousel.
And
then,
I'll
just
spend
time
alone,
one
lonely
tale...
You
morning
dove!
