| Lyrics |
I am not afraid when you call me downdown the basement steps under the housedown, down in the groundblack cows are limping, the white dogs barkcrickets are screaming, smoke in the barnjust like a field snake eating a mousejust like a blue gill, hook through its mouthdown, down in the groundcry for the toy trains lost in the snowcry for the dead deer surrounded by crowsyou call me softly down in the darkdown where the red worms circle like sharksdown, down in the groundunder the black mud in your quiet houseyou have prepared my place to lie downa house in the rock where sorrows drownold man or baby make no more sounddown, down in the ground
