lyrics
close up the door of abandoned self-control
it’s like a show where the maps will all unfold
don’t tell me why there is a price of spring
uncover other things
the leaves to lie
marked by new growth making circles with a pen
of all unknowns can we wait until the end
don’t tell me why there is a price of spring
uncover other things
the leaves to lie
I’ll admit to half that should make your map
these words hang frozen and swollen and still
right here I open and close up my will
so there’s not one thing
til there’s not one thing
it’s like a show where the maps will all unfold
don’t tell me why there is a price of spring
uncover other things
the leaves to lie
marked by new growth making circles with a pen
of all unknowns can we wait until the end
don’t tell me why there is a price of spring
uncover other things
the leaves to lie
I’ll admit to half that should make your map
these words hang frozen and swollen and still
right here I open and close up my will
so there’s not one thing
til there’s not one thing

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB.
