[00:18.455]Mother as I write the sun dissolves
[00:32.379]Blood life streaming cross my hand
[00:44.186]And these words, these words
[00:53.277]Hope dashed immortal hope
[01:01.636]Hope streaking the canvas sky
[01:10.648]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[01:27.575]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[01:45.104]
[01:47.063]We joined the long caravan
[01:55.422]Hungry dreaming going west
[02:04.042]Just for work just to get a job
[02:12.532]And we never got lucky
[02:17.809]We just forged on
[02:21.936]And the dust the endless dust
[02:29.721]Like a plague it covered everything
[02:38.550]Hal fell with the fever
[02:47.014]And mother I did what I could
[02:55.686]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[03:12.196]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[03:28.810]We prayed we prayed for rain
[03:37.143]I never wanted to see the sun again
[03:45.502]
[04:02.769]All my dresses you made by hand
[04:10.788]We left behind on the road
[04:19.801]Hal died in my arms
[04:27.951]We buried him by the river
[04:36.702]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
[04:53.028]Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
