Lyrics
Knotty Pine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here is the sound that photographs make
When i see them
When i hear them
I see regions of sharp precision
Over abundance
Over indulgence
Tied together with rope and twine
Stuck together with paste and glue
Two old planks of knotty pine
A couple of nails that poke right through.
