Joanna Newsom

Joanna Newsom - Sprout And The Bean lyrics

I slept all day

I woke 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 counselor

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?
