Joanna Newsom Sprout And The Bean Lyrics

I slept all day. I woke with distaste.
And I railed, and I raved.

That the difference between the sprout and the bean, it is a golden ring, it is a twisted string

And you can ask the counsellor, and you can ask the king.
And they'll say the same thing, and it's a funny thing.

Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested ?

And as I said, I slept as though dead.
Dreaming seamless dreams of lead.

When you go away, I am big-boned and fey.
In the dust of the day, and in the dirt of the day.

And the danger, danger drawing near them was a white coat,
And the danger, danger drawing near them was a broad boat,
And the water, water running clear beneath a white throat,
And the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles who know the outside.
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
