"The Whippgrass" lyrics - JUSTIN VERNON

Lay low, little babe
Rest your head, precious child
You're all old and grown now
But you're still the same inside

Standin' on the whippgrass
Standin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Watch and see how we last

You're not alone tonight, babe
You're not so far from your home
You got the strength of all us, babe
I give a prayer unknown

Sittin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Just sittin' on the whippgrass
I'm so full and this is so vast

I know we'll all be together, babe
Someday, somehow
Carry to a higher bound, babe
It's not a sight or a sound

Smokin' around
It's within me somehow
I'll carry to all I am bound
The truth that I have found

Standin' on the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
See how it lasts
