Echoes down water wells

Picked up in sacred spirographs

Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby

They buried him next to his first wife

His widow watched from under a visor

Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was

Blazing

Oh oh

Then the sun went down

And she went to sleep

She lays her burden down

She don't need to sleep

When they were done they went back home

To a house he built with opposable thumbs when

They were so much younger

Oh oh

Five years later she died in the house

All the breath that blows all the dust around

It just keeps on sifting

Oh oh

Then the sun went down

And she went to sleep

She lays her burden down

She don't need to sleep

Oh no

Echoes down water wells

Picked up in sacred spirographs

Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby
