Hickory

He kissed her once as she leaned on the windowsill
She'll never love him but knows that her father will
Her fallen fruit is all rotten in the middle but her
breast never dries when he's hungry

Her money came and she died in a rocking chair
The window wide and the rain in her braided hair
A letter locked in the pattern of her knuckles like a
hymn to the house she was makin'
A blindin' whistle in the jest(?) around the corner and there's a
Wind that is whisperin' something
Strong as heaven but hickory rooted

She kissed him once 'cause he have her his cigarette

And turned around but he waits like a turned down bet
And summer left like her walking with another and the
Sound of the church bell ringing

The money came and he died like a butterfly
A buried star and the haze of the city lights
A gun went off and a mother dropped her baby on a
Blue feathered wing, we were lucky
A blindin' whistle in he jest(?) around the corner and there's a
Wind that is whispering something
Strong as heaven but hickory rooted
