Текст песни You And Me, Bess - Joanna Newsom
We
picked
our
way
Down
to
the
beach,
Watching
the
waves
Dragging
out
of
our
reach:
Tangling
tails,
like
a
sodden
sheet;
Dangling
entrails
From
the
gut
of
the
sea.
Hoarding
our
meals
(alfalfa
and
rolls);
Trying
not
to
catch
The
cold
eyes
of
the
gulls--
I
hope
Mother
Nature
has
not
Overheard!
(Though,
she
doles
out
hurt
Like
a
puking
bird.)
We
stayed
for
the
winter.
No-one
told
us
About
the
laws
of
the
land.
I
hold
my
own.
But
you,
with
your
hunger--
You,
on
the
other
hand--
Make
yourself
known.
And
when
we
were
found,
I
know
we
both
grieved.
My
heart
made
the
sound
of
Snow
falling
from
eaves.
You
and
me,
Bess,
We
were
as
thick
as
thieves.
So
I
swore,
nonetheless,
up
and
down,
It
was
only
me.
They
took
me
away,
And,
after
some
time
Studying
my
case,
Must
have
made
up
their
minds.
By
the
time
you
realized
I
was
dying,
It
must
have
been
too
late.
I
believe
you
were
not
lying.
It
is
the
day.
I
wake,
With
my
ears
cocked
up
like
a
gun
(Like
every
day,
of
course),
Yanked
by
my
wrists
To
the
sugar-front
courtyard--
Now
tell
me,
what
have
I
done?
It
seems
I
have
stolen
a
horse.
I
step
to
the
gallows.
Who
do
you
think
you
are--
Arching
your
hooves
like
a
crane,
In
the
shallow
gutter
That
lines
the
boulevards,
Crowded
with
folks
Who
just
stare
as
I
hang?
It's
all
the
same.
Kindness
comes
over
me;
What
was
your
name?
It
makes
no
difference.
I'm
glad
that
you
came.
Forever,
I'll
listen
to
your
glad
neighing.
