《The White Tent The Raft (LP Version)(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The White Tent The Raft (LP版) - Jane Siberry

[00:00:00] There's a red leaf

[00:00:01] That falls from a purple tree

[00:00:03] It falls it floats down

[00:00:09] One red leaf against a clear blue sky

[00:00:12] It floats down

[00:00:16] Past the marbles in the clearing

[00:00:18] Beneath the geese in flight

[00:00:21] To the darkening river

[00:00:23] In the autumn light

[00:00:25] Where it touches down

[00:00:30] Oh like a great bird landing

[00:00:36] Tears of autumn

[00:00:41] There's a white tent that sits

[00:00:43] In the middle of a raft

[00:00:45] That floats down

[00:00:50] Floats down the middle of a river

[00:00:53] Of a stream floating down

[00:00:58] And the tears streaming

[00:01:00] From the mind's eye

[00:01:02] Streaming back beyond

[00:01:03] The white sheets that flap and fly

[00:01:07] Oh tears of wanting

[00:01:23] The white tent the raft

[00:01:27] The white tent the raft

[00:01:31] The white tent the raft

[00:01:35] Fists and chests

[00:01:42] Oh Mango in the clearing

[00:01:46] It's his leg or something

[00:01:50] Waiting

[00:01:52] Everything would be alright

[00:01:58] Watching the trees

[00:02:01] Then his toes

[00:02:04] Then the trees

[00:02:09] Deeper into the jungle

[00:02:10] And leaves him there

[00:02:13] We turn off the tv

[00:02:16] Never forget that night

[00:02:23] Never heard you

[00:02:26] Couldn't sleep

[00:02:27] Hotel window

[00:02:29] Get up to those dark peaks

[00:02:31] Everything would be

[00:02:34] The white tent the raft

[00:02:38] The white tent the raft

[00:02:42] The white tent the raft

[00:02:46] Fists and chests

[00:02:52] And when it's not our great overcoat

[00:02:55] It's a grey and yellow dress

[00:02:58] So beautiful the bees

[00:03:00] They followed you through the mall

[00:03:02] To the clearing in the wilderness

[00:03:07] And you lay down and I picked you up

[00:03:10] And I said you must never leave

[00:03:15] Your beautiful hands

[00:03:18] Like knitting needles

[00:03:18] And I said it's Jane it's me

[00:03:23] She said

[00:03:23] When you go that's when you go

[00:03:27] Lighten up and pass the cup

[00:03:32] Fifty bucks and that's all you got

[00:03:36] Yeah I love you

[00:03:40] There's a white tent that sits

[00:03:42] In the middle of a raft that floats down

[00:03:48] Floats down the middle of a river

[00:03:51] Of a stream floating down

[00:03:56] And the tears streaming

[00:03:58] From the mind's eye

[00:04:00] Streaming back beyond the white sheets

[00:04:02] That flap and fly

[00:04:05] Oh tears of hardness

[00:04:21] The white tent the raft

[00:04:25] The white tent the raft

[00:04:29] The white tent the raft

[00:04:34] Fists and chests

[00:04:39] Found the snake in the clearing

[00:04:41] And it tried to kill him of course

[00:04:44] But then only after it tried to get away

[00:04:50] He said

[00:04:51] Youse the meanest ugliest low down

[00:04:55] And he cursed and swore

[00:04:57] Gonna shoot the damn thing

[00:04:59] I watched from the raft

[00:05:01] And I withdrew my scent

[00:05:04] It's not hard to kill a snake

[00:05:06] It's not hard

[00:05:08] It's not hard to kill a snake

[00:05:10] It's not that hard

[00:05:13] The white tent the raft

[00:05:17] The white tent the raft

[00:05:21] The white tent the raft

[00:05:25] Fists and chests

[00:05:30] What do you mean I love you

[00:05:31] Stop saying I love you

[00:05:33] I don't know what you mean anyway

[00:05:38] I don't know what love is and

[00:05:40] You don't know what love is and

[00:05:42] It doesn't change anything anyway

[00:05:45] Ah who cares

[00:05:48] Who gives a

[00:05:50] Because all I see

[00:05:54] Is more hate

[00:05:56] More fear

[00:05:59] Less light than before me

[00:06:03] The white tent the raft

[00:06:06] The white tent the raft

[00:06:11] The white tent the raft

[00:06:15] Fists and chests

[00:07:09] There's a thousand white tents

[00:07:10] On a thousand rafts all floating down

[00:07:17] There's a thousand fists

[00:07:18] And a thousand chests

[00:07:20] They come thundering down

[00:07:25] And the tears streaming

[00:07:27] From a thousand eyes

[00:07:29] Streaming back beyond the white sheets

[00:07:32] That flap and fly

[00:07:34] Oh tears of hunger

[00:07:50] There's a white tent that blows

[00:07:52] In the middle of a raft

[00:07:54] That floats down down the middle

[00:07:59] Of a long and lonely dream

[00:08:02] Or is it lovely can't always tell

[00:08:06] And the clearings pass

[00:08:09] Like blowing scarves

[00:08:11] The slightly familiar

[00:08:13] The slightly apart

[00:08:21] And the river never runs dry

[00:08:27] Oh tears of open

[00:08:32] The white tent the raft

[00:08:36] The white tent the raft

[00:08:40] And one red leaf

[00:08:45] For my love

[00:08:49] For your love
