Ray LaMontagne Lyrics

10. Gossip In The Grain

Such the lazy Jackstraw, 
Always late for tea 
Never bothers to ring lately 

Says the silly Sparrow, 
'There's gossip in the grain, 
Have you heard the...Oh you don't say.' 

'Someday, 
Someday, 
A snow shall fill the trees 
You'd best make warm the eves.' 

Grown callous is the old Crow, 
He'd mock even the sun, 
Eyes as black as blood 
Bone crack in the craw 

He'd say, 
He'd say, 
Always a 'Never mind' 
Always a 'Never mind' 

Truth be: 
The Beggar that holds his tongue, 
Dines on none but air alone
