I returned with nothing to say
we were walking on sumac laid bare by the rain
to be heard is the fear of a child
there is no one out here there is no one for miles
so show me the shattercane weeds
the great silos that stay empty
summer storms that will rock you to sleep
that have rocked you to sleep
show me my country
I came back with nothing to say
we were walking on sumac laid bare by the rain
and beyond the thickening trees
the clicking of claws on the rocks of the creek
the night sky that lay out like the sea
summer fields hunting rosemary leaves
where'd you go when you turned seventeen
where were you
what'd you see
show me my country
you dreamt of walls made of stone
and beneath the floorboards were coyote bones
you'll be wherever you go
but the wind is persistent which carries you home
so show me some towering oak
with gray branches that start way down low
you said there were times you were full
where were you
where'd you go
my love she said to me
you can't just move anything
the wind only takes dead leaves
show me my country
