Flannel, flushed, between red oak stacks
Thicket's full of fawn and clover traps
Cornmeal rising high in cast iron pans
Cattails catching all the copperheads
Walk your way into the river
Is it fever or surrender?
Like a quilt handing out patterns
Like shadows to measure
Ripping pages from the book of Psalms
Kettle's calling out a ransom song
I shave your legs 'til the daylight's gone
Slowly reaching for a little more
Walk your way into the river
Is it fever or surrender?
Like a quilt handing out patterns
Like shadows in attics
What else do (What else do)
I need to move (I need to move)
To make room?
What else do (What else do)
I need to lose (I need to lose)
To make room?
What else new (What else new)
Could I choose (Could I choose)
To make room?
How else do (How else do)
I use this broom (I use this broom)
To make room?
Leave this place just like you found it
Posts of cedar, coils of wire
Tangled up inside the briar
Like shadows on fire
