Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Drunk and invulnerable
Driving home in the snow
The pike's a time tunnel, honey lamb
Won't bother quitting
Already seen the way it ends for me
The mine collapses in spring of '67
I was a bastard anyway
But feigning tenderness
I left you something dreadful
And you didn't know
She was a blue baby
Hole in her heart
From the start
Came two months early
Call her Marian for grandma
She grows up fast and moves to new Babylon
Watches the plague take her pretty friends
Flash to her middle age
The storm on Jupiter's abating
She's our blue baby
Hole for a heart
From the start
Her whale song wakes me
Reach for your warmth
You know that I am with time, honey
I ain't in time
And I see these arcing streams
Tracing something grander than you can imagine possibly
If you want
I don't mind
I'll whisper the date and time
A phase change
Condensate
Reason to be afraid
Now and then
The light bends
After my accident
'Round a room
Where I hide
In a sea of Virginia pines
A burnt bus
Further in
McDowell County District
I climb up
Take my blade
Start carving the name of my blue baby
(You know that I am with time, honey)
(I ain't in time)
(And I see these arcing streams)
(Tracing something grander than you can imagine possibly)
(Reach for your warmth)
(Blue baby)
(Blue baby)
(Blue baby)
(Blue baby)
