Lyrics
Noche del Guajolote
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.
the glowing world, the bench backed up against the house
the chicken coops the darkness surrounding everything
it was late and the night was moving slowly
we laid down on the ground because the world was lonely
if you keep quiet it will stay like this forever
if you just keep quiet it will stay like this forever
i feel certain of it now
and all the birds were sleeping in their perches
the little wind, swaying birches
and the north american wild turkey
that your father brought home
woke up and came towards us
and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
and the night air and the moonlight on your skin
and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
and the quiet yardand the turkey and the moon
unimaginable
unimaginable
unimaginable
unimaginable
