Indigo Girls - Andy Lyrics






Andy do you love me do you think about it will you say
Turning brushwood into blazes turning summer grass into hay
Turning sharply past the graveyard to the lakefront with the black waves licking up the stones
To the swayed back screened in front porch who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones

Andy aren't you tired from the sun and rain and river soaking you
From the beer cans on your dashboard and the bullet hole glass spiderweb staining your rear view
I have watched you watch an empty road is it only her upon which all of you's depending
To fill your twenty hour work day while all the fences in this county still need mending

And in the night I do my checking and fix the broken part with visions of rare beauty
But in my heart I know I'm second forever fixed in your pursuit it is my duty

Andy will you toss me a little scrap of something I can taste
Instead of dust from all the leaving and the smell of summer lying here to waste
Under the burnt pyre of all the cast away the tiny shoots will spring like questions will you take me
Out to the fenced field sprinkled with horses, wild in resistance to the taming will you break me
Will you break me

    ‘The black waves licking up the stones’ and ‘wild in resistance to the taming, will you break me?” . Both Girls are just incredible poets. There is so much empty longing in this song... still one of my favorites

    Andy
    Do you love me
    Do you think about it
    Will you say
    Turning brushwood
    Into blazes
    Turning summer grass
    Into hay
    Turning sharply
    Past the graveyard
    To the lakefront
    With the black waves
    Licking up the stones
    To the swayed back
    Screened in front porch
    Who could ever stay the weight
    Of flesh and bones

    Andy
    Aren't you tired
    From the sun and rain
    And river soaking you
    From the beer cans
    On your dashboard
    And the bullet hole
    Glass spiderweb
    Staining your rear view
    I have watched you
    Watch an empty road
    Is it only her
    Upon which you all
    Of you is depending
    To fill your twenty
    Hour work day
    While all the fences
    In this county still need mending
    Hey

    And in the night
    I do my checking
    And fix the broken parts
    With visions of rare beauty
    But in my heart I know I'm second
    Forever fixed in your pursuit
    It is my duty
    Hey

    Andy
    Will you toss me
    A little scrap of something
    That I can taste
    Instead of dust from
    All the leaving
    And the smell of summer
    Lying here to waste
    Under the burnt pyre
    Of all the cast away
    The tiny shoots will spring
    Like questions
    Will you take me
    Out to the fenced hill
    Sprinkled with horses
    Wild in resistance to the taming
    Will you break me
    Will you break me

    I've listened to this beautiful song for so many years and just looked at the lyrics. Completely lovely.
