My friends knew when I was moving away
I had forgotten until the day itself came
The thicket by the wall was our secret home
Eating roots, holding hands, watching the storm
Chorus:
There's poison in the apple's seed
And each grows different from it's parent tree
So turn horse! Turn rider! Towards the coast
The father, son, and holy ghost
We drove under a dome of cloudless blue
The world was fresh, 2000 miles from you
Every day since , I've grown farther away
It's still lonely to think you've forgotten my face

Daughter (Beloved One)

She's got a hole in her pocket
Where all the feelings go
And as they fall out
They make such a loud clanging sound
She's got a hole for a throat
Where her song careens off the walls
Just like everybody else
She picks stones up off the ground
Chorus:
My lovely daughter, don't be afraid
Everything works out when all's said and done
Even when it goes wrong, and it will
My lovely daughter, beloved one
There are fresh sheets on the bed
And the pillows are new
She makes it home at midnight
Or where her home used to be
In the morning it's bright
No snow on the ground here
And the windchimes sing so sadly
In a minor key

Any body will do tonight
Any thing warm to lie beside
Joy the flower and grief the fruit
Flesh and blood and breath and you
Chorus:
Come close and hold me, it's all gone too fast
And no one can seem to make a moment last
I'll stay waiting for you like Penelope's kiss
We all say goodbye, but you're who I want to miss
Come by and love me, I'll be yours
At least until you walk out my door
Come back and I'll peel you oranges
The birds can keep what our fortune is
