00:00This song is inspired by a Walt Whitman poem from Leaves of Grass, which I'm sure you're
00:18familiar with now.
00:19The poem's called Among the Multitude, and it talks about somebody out in the distance.
00:27And all the multitude that you connect with, and they know you, and your family, and your
00:35friends, and your loves, and your work, and your children, they all fall away and you
00:41connect with that one person, and they see you for who you are, and you might not ever
00:49meet them, but they're there.
00:53I've spent a year in the mouth of a whale with a flame and a book of signs, and I've
01:15known the word I failed to make up for a long time.
01:23Once I believed in things unseen, I was blinded by the dark.
01:33Out of the multitude to me he came and broke my heart.
01:43And the dust in the field has flown, and the youngest of hearts has grown, and you
01:53doubt you will ever be free.
01:57Honey, don't bail on me, no.
02:09The river is wide and low, so deep, and at once it winds around.
02:19I dream we're heavy in my sleep, floating down and down and down.
02:29The tide rushes by where you stand, and the earth underneath turns to sand, and you're
02:39waiting for someone to see.
02:43Honey, don't bail on me, no.
02:59The river is wide and low, so deep, and at once it winds around.
03:09I dream we're heavy in my sleep, floating down and down and down.
03:19The tide rushes by where you stand, and the earth underneath turns to sand, and you're
03:29waiting for someone to see.
03:33Honey, don't bail on me, no.
03:39The river is wide and low, so deep, and at once it winds around.
03:47Tell them all I loved a man, even though I turned around.
03:59Lovely and fine I could have been, laying down in my father's lap, laying down in my father's
04:13hand, laying down in the palm of his hand, laying down in the palm of his hand.
04:25In the morning you wait for the sun, you secretly have it woken.
04:36The tide washes everyone's hair.
04:41Don't bail on me, no.
04:46Don't bail on me.
04:51Don't bail on me.
05:05Don't bail on me.
