Joanna Newsom Sprout And The Bean Lyrics

Sprout And The Bean Lyrics

I slept all day

Awoke 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 I'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 you 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

In the dirt of the day



And Danger! Danger!

Drawing near them was a white coat

And 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 you interested
