From the recording Jelly Bean Farmer
Lyrics
Before you could talk you were cryin’ out loud
Before you could walk, stompin’ on the ground
Haunted by the sound for cryin’ out loud
Before you knew the song, you were singin’ all along
Half asleep, you came from a whole
Wake up to the wolves always at your door
They try every day, you die every night
How you’re reminded of the song you were singin’ all along
The jingle jangle of the civilized town
A killer in the streets of souls on the ground
Too long around the sound you’ll fancy it true!
Hold on to your tune - the song is singin’ you…
For love to terror is a dissonant sound
A tear at the seems’ the loner in the crowd
Charms the child, a call to the wild
Returnin’ to the song to which you belong
When no power could shake your faith
No fear of pain could ever tame
What death can’t claim - you do not belong
To none but the song you were singin’ all along
So as you’re lookin’ back at the path you blazed
From a puddle on the floor of the blood that you gave
You come a long way to get back where you came
Of all that’s lost… your song remains.
