Magnetic Fields - Babies Falling lyrics

Where the workers stand in querulous rows awaiting dislocation
I´ll be there too
When you are cashing in your food stamps
When you are sleeping in a cattle train
I will be with you
Pushing up against the ticket counter window face against the glass
Bleeding from the waist & kissing to be chaste
It´s said that those who´ll not rest have been cursed
To tramp like soldiers through the marshes
Or that blessed are the ones who leave the stage
Like babies falling fast asleep
So I twice am cursed & twice am stuck
Affixed to this corner of the earth.
That old river keeps on rolling but the old man doesn´t see it,
He just stands there with his eyes closed
Asking "where´d you go?" "where´d you go?"
So wherever you may sleep tonight,
Be it bed or bedrock, home, or open field:
When you begin to yield, then, whatever you´ve taken as your pillow,
May it serve as mine as well.
Underneath the weeping willow I´ll wait for you forever,
My eyes forever closed, asking "where´d you go?" "where´d you go?"
