Sprout And The Bean Lyrics - Milk-eyed Mender - Joanna Newsom

I slept all day 

Awoke with distaste 

And I railed 

And I raved 

That the difference between 

The sprout and the bean 

It is a golden ring 

It is a twisted string 

And you can ask the counsellor 

And you can ask the king 

And I'll say the same thing 

And it's a funny thing 

Should we go outside 

Should we go outside 

Should we break some bread 

Are you interested 

And as I said 

I slept as though dead 

Dreaming seamless dreams 

Of lead 

When you go away 

I am big-boned and fey 

In the dust of the day 

In the dirt of the day 

And Danger! Danger! 

Drawing near them was a white coat 

And Danger! Danger! 

Drawing near them was a broad boat 

And the water! Water! 

Running clear beneath a white throat 

And the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles 

Who know the outside 

Should we go outside 

Should we break some bread 

Are you interested
