	Lyrics only the bony the tall and the lonely could have made a boy like me only a ripe love and all they were sure of brought this belonging to me catholic charities took real good care of me first few months of my first year then I was snatched up from mercy to mercy from stranger to my darling dear son of a grocer and pride of a mother with space in the midwestern flats never went hungry with plenty of room for to spread out my toes in the tall grass years full of wonder in Iowa summers dreams planted firm in the earth but who is the other I could call my mother who felt in her belly my worth the swell and the weight or the pain of her labor the blood and the fluid on the floor what was she so sure of to bear me and know of my cradle arranged months before mercy to be with my mother and father who grew me up tall like the corn mercy to be chosen mercy to be given mercy to ever been born taking the longview its what I belong to like all of the world has been fleeced giggling happy like I've got all the candy and I don't deserve a piece
