Gossip in the Grain - Ray LaMontagne
Such the lazy jackstraw
Always late for tea
Never bothers to ring lately
Says the silly sparrow
There's gossip in the grain
Have you heard the oh you don't say
Someday
Someday
A snow shall fill the trees
You'd best to make warm the eves
Grown callous is the old crow
He'd mock even the sun
Eyes as black as blood
Bone crack in the craw
He'd say
He'd say
Always a never mind
Always a never mind
Truth be
The beggar that holds his tongue
Dines on none but air alone
