WISCONSIN
By
Bon Iver
***************
You ride in the park and you’re peeking
Piss pools in your seat
She’s standing inside but you surely repeat
Oh God don’t leave me here
I will freeze till the end
Love is loves reprieve
Winter is coming and you’re stacking
All your summer sheets
Now when the wind blows you cover your
And our tool shed where you trade in your blues
Love is loves sad news
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves mystique
You’re up on the bar and your shaking
With every grimy word
Who will love
What’s love when you’ve hurt
Wherever is your scene the snow kissed the curb
Love is loves return
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves critique
PERTH
***************
I’m tearing up, acrost your face
Move dust through the light
To fide your name
It’s something fane
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I’m raised of make
Still alive who you love
Still alive who you love
Still alive who you love
In a mother, out a moth
Furling forests for the soft
Gotta know been lead aloft
So I’m ridding all your stories
What I know, what it is, is pouring – wire it up!
You’re breaking your ground
RE:STACKS
***************
This my excavation and today is kumran
Everything that happens from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed
I keep throwing it down two-hunded at a time
It’s hard to find it when you knew it
When your money’s gone
And you’re drunk as hell
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you’re un-stacking your load
Well I’ve been twisting to the sun and the moon
I needed to replace
The fountain in the front yard is rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground
There’s a black crow sitting across from me
His wiry legs are crossed
He is dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you’re un-stacking your load
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It’s the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me
FOR EMMA
***************
“So apropos
Saw death on a sunny snow”
“For every life…”
“forego the parable.”
“Seek the light.”
“…my knees are cold.”
Running home
Running home
Running home
Running home
“Go find another lover;
To bring a- to string along!”
“With all your lies,
You’re still very lovable.”
“I toured a light
So many foreign roads
For Emma, forever ago.”
CALGARY
***************
Don’t you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father’s crib
Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won’t erase
I was only for your very space
Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face ‘way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss
Joy, it’s all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope’s untied
I was only for to die beside
So it?s storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
There’s a fire going out,
But there’s really nothing to the south
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
Sold, I’m Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh the demons come, they can subside
WOODS
***************
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind
I’m building a sill to slow down the time
