Stump Speech

Ooh, love
Weathervanes and charms
May protect your home
But ooh, love
Don’t get caught
At night in the fields alone
Ooh, love
Are your nights with him
Worth the seeds we’d sown?
And ooh, love
How I long to show you
The great unknown!
I’ll come down in the middle of the night
Hauling oblivion to shatter the sugar pines
Splitting giants with a railroad light
It’s a stump speech!
To claim what was already mine
