Generate meaning
1
Saw an eagle on a pole, I think it was an eagle
2
Watched its shadow fly 'cross the cement
3
I woke up in the snow
4
All the trees were crowds of people
5
No coat, no shoes, no idea where they went
6
I followed the fence line, thin
7
Back where the yard begins
8
My woman, she stood crying like a man
9
Said, where have you been?
10
Where have you been?
11
I thought you said that all of that was done
12
El Cielo es azul, just don't go telling everyone
13
Thought the kettle was a train
14
Thought that Monday was a door frame
15
I tried so hard to finally settle down
16
Heard the fire pop and snap like a tack piano rag
17
I never could get used to happy sounds
18
But I hope the world's exposed
19
A cruel and elaborate hoax
20
That convinces me to walk without a cane
21
But what can you do?
22
What can you do?
23
I always heard that what is done is done
24
El Cielo es azul, just don't go telling everyone
25
The past don't ever quit, those boxes in the attic
26
Baby shoes and taxidermy dreams
27
While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head
28
Explode and then are scattered by the breeze
29
And it's such a long way back
30
To all the fun that I had
31
When nothing ever seemed to bother me
32
But what can you do?
33
Child, what can you do?
34
Sleep beneath the stars and toil in the sun
35
El Cielo es azul, just don't go telling everyone
36
El Cielo es azul, just don't go telling everyone
