What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A baby begins chewing on letters on wood blocks
2
To get to the root of the problem at hand
3
All your language is splinters it can't stick together
4
When you open your mouth you start loosing your head
5
And you still can't explain why the sky is blue
6
There is nothing so sweet as the milk of your mother
7
That's how you bounce back when the bough breaks
8
Now you've got these two eyes that go from wandering to wise
9
Depending on the wind and how it's feeling today
10
And you've been thinking about swimming upstreams
11
Are you embarressed by legends of cowboys and maidens
12
Do you remember how David caught a giant on his tongue?
13
The light through the window holds the dust of past heroes
14
And they're never destroyed only scattered around
15
By the drunk wind spilling his guts
16
So a child lights a fire just to look in the mirror
17
For soon he'll be wearing his Papa's grey beard
18
All his days in the country full of flame and born of longing
19
Into the haze of the cityscape they all but disappear
20
Like horses running out of prairie
21
But if the stars can't quit dreaming
22
And if the sun is still sleeping
23
Then beholden they'll swallow the sad empty space
24
While the moon casts her shadows and spells on new lovers
25
Who must blush as they brush the hair from their faces
26
And the crickets know nobody is immune
27
You assume that I'm wounded because I'm hunchbacked and hooded
28
But I've got a dream just like any honest man
29
I might keep it hidden so sweet is my burden
30
But if someone tried to steal it they'd have to cut off my hands
31
For it's as heavy and as precious as gold.
