[00:23.97]We came in this world together
[00:29.34]Legs wrapped around each other
[00:33.15]My cheek against my sister's
[00:35.43]We were born like tangled vine
[00:43.74]We lived along the river
[00:48.21]Where the black clouds never lingered
[00:52.89]The sunlight spread like honey
[00:54.87]Through my sister's tiny hands
[01:03.06]But while picking sour apples
[01:07.86]In the wild waving grasses
[01:12.33]Sister stumbled in the briar
[01:14.76]And was bitten by a snake
[01:22.86]Every creature casts a shadow
[01:27.24]Under the sun's golden fingers
[01:31.80]And as the sun sinks past the waving grass
[01:36.84]Some shadows are dragged along
[01:42.03]Alone, I took to drinking
[02:12.27]Bottles of cheap whiskey
[02:14.85]And staggering through the back woods
[02:17.13]Killing snakes with a sharpened stick
[02:25.50]But still I heard her laughing
[02:30.09]In those wild waving grasses
[02:34.41]Still her tiny hands went splashing
[02:36.93]At the river's sparkling shore
[02:44.88]So I took my rusty gas can
[02:48.30]And an old iron shovel
[02:54.57]I set the woods to blaze
[02:56.34]And choked the river up with stones
[03:04.62]Every creature casts a shadow
[03:08.94]Under the sun's golden fingers
[03:13.44]And as the sun sinks past the waving grass
[03:18.30]Some shadows are dragged along

We came in this world together
Legs wrapped around each other
My cheek against my sister's
We were born like tangled vine
We lived along the river
Where the black clouds never lingered
The sunlight spread like honey
Through my sister's tiny hands
But while picking sour apples
In the wild waving grasses
Sister stumbled in the briar
And was bitten by a snake
Every creature casts a shadow
Under the sun's golden fingers
And as the sun sinks past the waving grass
Some shadows are dragged along
Alone, I took to drinking
Bottles of cheap whiskey
And staggering through the back woods
Killing snakes with a sharpened stick
But still I heard her laughing
In those wild waving grasses
Still her tiny hands went splashing
At the river's sparkling shore
So I took my rusty gas can
And an old iron shovel
I set the woods to blaze
And choked the river up with stones
Every creature casts a shadow
Under the sun's golden fingers
And as the sun sinks past the waving grass
Some shadows are dragged along
