lyrics
The maid of honor took my flowers away
as the stately processional of brass was almost done
the wide white billow of my lady’s goods behind me –
my parachute, your starter gun…
They cabled all the elders, saying “bring your genealogy”
we’ll cleave them all together, ‘fore the seventh blessing’s sung
Set a canopy to Eden, a bag of grain to ground us
some leverage for the rising sun
Oh Father, the neighborhood
said the labors would be easy
and the cradles would be grand
I’ll grow him the finest wood
if they’ll nail us in white cedar
when they lay us in the sand
Back in Cavalry Falls,
I laid ‘em good, split them all like peas
I was sweeter than Madeleine
and I’d chart the sky through Gaudi’s mezzanines
But of them all, the star I chose to guide me
led him here, just in time, that year
Oh and the seasons go…
Oh and the seasons go…
Oh Father, the neighborhood
said the labors would be easy
and the cradles would be grand
I’ll grow him the finest wood
if they’ll nail us in white cedar
when they lay us in the sand
as the stately processional of brass was almost done
the wide white billow of my lady’s goods behind me –
my parachute, your starter gun…
They cabled all the elders, saying “bring your genealogy”
we’ll cleave them all together, ‘fore the seventh blessing’s sung
Set a canopy to Eden, a bag of grain to ground us
some leverage for the rising sun
Oh Father, the neighborhood
said the labors would be easy
and the cradles would be grand
I’ll grow him the finest wood
if they’ll nail us in white cedar
when they lay us in the sand
Back in Cavalry Falls,
I laid ‘em good, split them all like peas
I was sweeter than Madeleine
and I’d chart the sky through Gaudi’s mezzanines
But of them all, the star I chose to guide me
led him here, just in time, that year
Oh and the seasons go…
Oh and the seasons go…
Oh Father, the neighborhood
said the labors would be easy
and the cradles would be grand
I’ll grow him the finest wood
if they’ll nail us in white cedar
when they lay us in the sand
