Sadie Music Lyrics

Sadie, white coat.
You carry me home.
And bury this bone,
And take this pinecone.

Bury this bone,
To gnaw on it later, gnawing on the telephone.
And 'till then we pray and suspend
The notion that these lives do never end.

And all day long we talk about mercy.
Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty.
Down in the ditch, where I nearly served you.
Up in the clouds, where he almost heard you.

And all that we built ,
And all that we breathed,
And all that we spilled or pulled up like weeds
Is piled up in back,
And it burns irrevocably.
(And we spoke up in turns,
'Till the silence crept over me.)

And bless you.
And I deeply do
No longer resolute.
Oh and I call to you.
But the water got so cold,
And you do lose what you don't hold.

This is an old song,
These are old blues.
And this is not my tune,
But it's mine to use.
And the seabirds,
Where the fear once grew,
Will flock with a fury.
And they will bury
What'd come for you.

And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender,
You and I, and a love so tender.
Stretched on a hoop where I stiched this adage:
"Bless our house and its heart so savage"

And all that I want,
And all that I need,
And all that I got
Is scattered like seed.
And all that I knew is moving away
From me.
(And all that I know
is blowin' like a tumbleweed.)

And the mealy worms
In the brine will burn,
In the salty pyre,
Among the fauns and ferns.
And the love we hold,
And the love we spurn
Will never grow cold,
Oh, only taciturn.

And I'll tell you tomorrow.
Oh, Sadie, go on home now.
And bless those who've sickened below.
And bless us who have chosen so.

And all that I got,
And all that I need,
I tie in a knot,
And I lay at your feet.
(And I have not forgot,
But a silence crept over me.)

So, dig up your bone.
Exhume your pinecone, Sadie.
