Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Kentucky Is Water

Knowing is the first step to unknowing.
Even little children will agree.
Never try to deny a wind in its blowing;
The moment you do your heart will be lost to eternity.
Usually I can be found with my family, courageous and careful and loving our now and wow.
Knowing is the first step to unknowing.
You can unknow, too, and we’ll show you how.
I can see future and I can see past, see all humanity from first to last.
Watch what we will do now.
Able to see it all through someone smaller: taking a breath, then, oops, taking
a spill.
Embrace her and do your darnedest to enthrall her.
Resolve not to hinder the bold arc of her will.
I can see future and I can see past. see all humanity from first to last.
Nobody knows the trouble at our door, terrible forces intending to destroy us.
I’ll trade what I grow inside me for your great transcendent love, then we will be unknowing forever
more.
