These Golden Jewels

by The Handsome Family

on Last Days of Wonder (2006)

[Verse 2]
I left a black shoe hanging from a telephone wire
I threw hubcaps in the bushes
Filled the creek with burning tires
I drove circles in the meadow, threw TV's off a cliff
I scattered dirty needles in a grassy ditch
Shopping carts of garbage, overturned in silver ponds
In fields of wild mustard, I abandoned several cars

[Chorus]
At the edge of town, these golden jewels
I left them all for you

[Verse 2]
You, hiding in the falling leaves
And the spider's dew-dropped ring
You, lying in the muddy river with ten thousand wild wings
I will set the world on fire, pluck the stars down from the sky
if you will spend with me, my dear, a single summer night

[Chorus]
Atthe edge of town, my golden jewel
I'm waiting here for you
