1
And all I had hoped for
2
I kept inside your car
3
The rabbit in the barn
4
Most of all, I wait
5
I wait beside the door
6
I wait beside the door
7
And all I was wrong
8
Trembling in the cage
9
I was diamonds in the cage
10
In seven hours, I consider death
11
And your father called to yell at me
12
You little boy, you little boy
13
I found out, you cheated me
14
I ran behind the barn
15
And cut my hands somehow
16
Blood in the meadowlark
17
I punched your ears instead
18
I punched you in the head
19
You only laughed
20
And laughed and laughed
21
How I was wrong tingling from the kill
22
Tickle me until you devil bird, you evil still
23
Slept on my arms, sleeping in the sill
24
I was sleeping in the room with you
25
You little boy, you little boy
26
How could you run from me now?
27
The loneliest chime in the house
28
The loneliest chime in the house
29
You let it out, you let it out
30
Come to me, Calvary still
31
I'm weeding and raking until
32
I'm bleeding in spite of my love for you
33
It bruised and bruised my will
34
Counting alluvial plains
35
The breathing inside of the range
36
You touched me inside of my cage
37
Beneath my shirt, your hands embraced me
38
Come to me, feathered and frayed
39
For I am the ugliest prey
40
For I am the ugliest prey
41
The owl, the reckless, reckless praise
42
You said you'd wait for me
43
Down by the Tannery Creek
44
Far out by the roadside
45
Where we used to kiss behind the sheets
46
Wrapped in a blanket of red
47
The owl and the Tanager said
48
The owl and the Tanager said
49
One waits until the hour is death
