Another Meeting by the Tree

[Intro: Spencer Cullum] Pow, you're awake [Verse 1: James Wallace & Erin Rae, Spencer Cullum, All] Shoulder blade (shoulder blade), I land upon (land upon) Shuffle my old body back (shuffle my old body) to golden dawn (back to golden dawn) Lights off, lights on Turn the page (turn the page), fill the glass (fill the glass) A rainy day that’s traveling slower than the past Rainy day that’s traveling slower than the past I’ve drowned too fast Let’s float upon this golden age, our last [Verse 2: Spencer Cullum] I dreamt the ghost of Harry Entered my room in a fog Opened his paternal, withered hand Whispered, 'When you awake you will be alone at sea Hands blackened by the frozen wind, at the bow of a clipper, crying' I rocked for hours in bed Until the warning of late morning light [Chorus: Spencer Cullum & Erin Rae, All] I lit a smoke off of the range Opened the garden door and spoke your name We’re not dreaming anymore [Verse 4: Spencer Cullum] I ate one egg and walked into the forest It was a spring day High sun had dried wet leaves on the path When I approached the hole in the ancient sycamore Where I often sat in my torment I noticed there was a door, clasped shut The hinges were made of wrought iron And in the center was a painting of a sailing ship My hand felt a pain [Chorus: Spencer Cullum & Erin Rae, All] I lit a smoke and something strange Opened the wooden door and spoke my name You’re not living anymore [Outro: Erin Rae, James Oliver Cyr] (Ooh, ooh) (Ahh) Whenever I’m in trouble, this really helps
