Frank Black Bartholomew Lyrics

Bartholomew Lyrics

Bartholomew

How'd you end up in the coffee?

Bartholomew

Were you going down in flames?



Was it a girl?

And did I hear you call her softly?

No, this world of lunacy made me insane



Once I lay beside a stream

And I looked into it

A dandelion next to me

And then I blew it

My life was scattered in the breeze



I lay me down

Won't you stop it with your talking?

They closed the town

Won't you let me go to sleep?



Bartholomew

I'm sorry for my squawking

Bartholomew

I'll let you go to sleep



And I will lay beside a stream

And I'll look into it

A dandelion next to me

And then I'll blow it

And watch it scatter in the breeze
