lyrics

Say the day is coming around when all the sky will again work the same. Feel a place in the ground where the mounds of all the chips, teeth, and ashes can fade. And we never wasted water like that until you helped up this come-along town. We never had such a throng in the shacks until you sought out our timberlands, found the long boughs. We people wanted back-twisting fields; we didn’t know how to clear it away. So you manned us a saw to greenback the days, our jawbones wondering, thundering, plundering, We can stay! Say the day is coming around when all this land will again be lost in shade. Feel a place in the skull where the sounds of all the saws, ax, and mattocks remain. And we never wasted tears like that until you pulled out this come-along town. We never made such a throng in the sack until you pulled out the lumber and boughs. ('hio! 'hio!) We people had our back-twisting fields. We didn’t know what to what to say when you took back your saws, left a black burning tract, our jawbones wondering, wondering, thundering what to say. We saw it now. Wish I could say I saw the coming of these days. From rot-timber ages, the leaves in green garlands fell, in green garlands fell.
