lyrics

have you heard the fraying yarn?
she is outside in the cold
she is praying in the barn
watching as the rafters mold

have you heard the torrid tale?
she hid it where it won't be found
she hid it underneath a bale
heavy on the frozen ground

have you heard the whispered words?
she's been speaking with the owls
she's been speaking with the birds
they say "who?"
she says "no one now."

only the owls have been heard to inquire
as to the contents of the fire
all else is shuddering whispers about
the depth and the shape of the shadow of doubt

have you heard the things they say?
she smiles in the mornings now
she even laughed the other day
when Johnny cried to kill a cow
