Blue Poles

[00:21.04] Mother, as I write, the sun dissolves
[00:31.95] Blood life streaming cross my hand
[00:44.57] And these words, these words
[00:53.44]
[00:56.87] Hope dashed immortal hope
[00:59.64] Hope streaking the canvas sky
[01:10.67] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[01:27.67] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[01:46.98] We joined the long caravan
[01:55.23] Hungry dreaming going west
[02:04.03] Just for work, just to get a job
[02:12.38] And we never got lucky, we just forged on
[02:21.06] And the dust the endless dust
[02:29.63] Like a plague, it covered everything
[02:39.77] Hal fell with the fever
[02:46.82] And mother I did what I could
[02:55.76] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[03:12.40] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[03:26.77] We prayed, we prayed for rain
[03:37.03] I never wanted to see the sun again
[03:47.58]
[04:02.76] All my dresses you made by hand
[04:11.26] We left behind on the road
[04:19.31] Hal died in my arms
[04:27.89] We buried him by the river
[04:36.73] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[04:53.12] Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[05:12.56]
