Giant of Illinois |
The Giant of Illinois |
Died of a blister on his toe |
After walking all day |
Through the first winters' snow |
Throwing bits of stale bread |
to the last speckled doves |
He never even felt, |
his shoes fill with blood |
Delirious with pain, |
his bedroom walls began to glow |
And he felt himself floating |
up through falling snow |
And the sky was a woman’s arms |
And the sky was a woman’s arms |
A boy with a clubbed foot |
sat next to him at school |
Once upon a summer’s day |
they went walking through the woods |
They spotted a sleeping swan |
On the banks of a muddy stream |
They stoned it with rocks |
till it collapsed in the reeds |
They laid out on the grass |
full of chocolate and lemonade |
And underneath it all |
the Giant was afraid |
And the sky was a woman’s arms |
Oh, the sky was a woman’s arms |
And the sky was a woman’s arms. |
