joanna newsom live at the royal albert hall

There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold.
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly.
and some bellies ache with many bumblebees.
(and they sting so terribly).

I do as I please.
Now I'm on my knees.
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea.
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown.
Well, just look around.It's why I love this town:
just see me serenaded hourly!celebrated sourly!
dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea -
clam, crap, cockle, cowrie : will you just look at me?

Had I known, would have been there. I have all the albums, including the new triple album. Wonderful.

@SCLOGSE "Well, she is the source, as I think she's the best thing since Tom Waits." 100% agreed.

[SoulQuest7]

Lyrics are wrong: it's "clam, CRAB, etc)

Heartbreaking. Thank you for posting the lyrics, too. She's really something--very inspiring and humbling. Makes me think about my own work a lot, which is a gift.

Interesting how she's subtlely changed the song. Smoothed out the thing. FOund it's source. Well, she is the source, as I think she's the best thing since Tom Waits. She also reaches for notes in songs that nobody would dare to...(Milk Eyed Mender CD)
