the table - jacksonport lyrics

Loading...

clouds are black with swallowed sunshine
spitting rain into the sea
arms reached out to the horizon
here’s my little boat and me
sailing off the port new hampshire
where sam was born and ginny died
i’m counting up beads to the blessed mother
that i might see the supper time

but they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table, anymore

there’s a pharoah in the desert
outside of tucson to this day
that gathers round his loyal subjects
and alleviates their dismay
i’d like to fight him with my bare hands
i’d like to make him kiss the ground
for mother nature is my daughter
and all my kids are prison*bound

but they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table, anymore
it’s all become too much for mother
she’s taken her pills with a glass of wine
the lampshade softens up the feeling
of an empty house at supper time
she’s forgot all about new england
she’s forgot all about the sea
i look into her eye’s and can’t tell
if my own ma’s forgotten me

but they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table
they don’t ask me to the table, anymore
