Wittgenstein's Arm

Hey there, now, did I hear your voice

Ringing out in the early morning?

Did I hear you singing right through the night

Out there while I was rolling?

Did you see my brother lying in the ditch?

Knuckles all scraped and the powder on him

Passing like a shadow right through the night

Through my days and through my mind

Love is dead and truth is empty

It won't heal and it won't save me

See that girl in the checked white skirt

I'll hold her tonight and maybe it'll work

Love is all

A white dove in the snow

Passing through

Like a bright new moon

Mama froze

Women's blood once flowed

Death runs deep in this family

Write your song for the left and only

Lost my arm in the First Great War

I wish I'd never learned that piano before

You see my brother drinking from the glass

They say he died with his eyes wide open

Poison flowing right through the veins

Glass of milk fell from his hands

Love is all (Love is all)

Find the right way home

Time is all (Time is all)

Find the right way home

Powder moon (Powder moon)

Find the right way home

Time is all (Time is all)

Find the right way home

Hey there, now, did you hear my voice

Ringing out in the early morning?

Did you hear me singing right through the night?

I wonder if you'll ever get tired of this

Death runs deep in this family

Write your song for the left and only

Lost my arm in the First Great War

I wish I'd never learned that piano before

I wish I'd never learned that piano before

Love is all (Love is all)

Find the right way home

Time is all (Time is all)

Find the right way home

Love is all (Love is all)

I'll find the right way home

Time is all (Time is all)

Find the right way home
