Joanna Newsom: Anecdotes

Joanna Newsom: Anecdotes (fra The Divers, 2015)

Rørende sang fra mesterlig plade.

Now hush, little babe
You don’t want to be
Down in the trenches
Remembering with me

Where you will not mark my leaving
And you will not hear my parting song
Nor is there cause for grieving
Nor is there cause for carrying on

And daughter, when you are able
Come down and join, the kettle’s on
And your family’s round the table
Will you come down, before the sun is gone?
