Blue Poles

Mother, as I write, the sun dissolves

Blood life streaming, 'cross my hand

And these words, these words

Hope dashed immortal hope

Hope streaking the canvas skyBlue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I write

Blue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I writeWe joined the long caravan

Hungry, dreaming, going west

Just for work, just to get a job

And we never got luckyWe just forged on, and the dust

The endless dust, like a plague

It covered everything

Hal fell, with the fever

And mother I did, what I couldBlue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I write

Blue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I writeWe prayed, we prayed for rain

I never wanted, to see the sun again

All my dresses, you made by hand

We left behind, on the road,

Hal died, in my arms

We buried him, by the riverBlue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I write

Blue poles infinitely winding

As I write, as I write, I write
