Am
Time to make arrangements
Flood the valley with the call insane
Something the clouds cast
And all around the great refrain
Didn't you talk about the big walk?
Well, wide as a landscape
Torn as a rag there
You uncovered a doubt

Time to make arrangements
Send the pallbearers a memory
All the wood a-rotting
And all the fish run out to sea

C                      G
Call us a mirror, the last ones at the county fair
C                        G
Me in the middle, all reticent and English and air
Am         C
Well, I know

Chorus:
Am                       C
There where the kestrel hangs
              Am C
You mouthed beware

C
Turning from the rainstorm
      G
While all around the great refrain
C
Some barred secret
    G
A family in their picture frame
             F
Didn't you crawl out the ground?
         C
Well, thrashing and screaming
F
Now you walk so graceful
C
And the moon bows down

Well, hello
Now you walk so graceful
And the moon bows down
Well, hello

Time to make arrangements
Flood the valley with the call insane
Something the clouds cast
And all around the great refrain
Didn't you talk about the big walk?
Well, wide as a landscape
Torn as a rag there
You uncovered a doubt

Chorus:
There where the kestrel hangs
There's no easy way out
There where the kestrel hangs
There's no easy way out
Well, I know

Time to make arrangements
Send the pallbearers a memory
All the wood a-rotting
And all the fish run out to sea
Call us a mirror, the last ones at the county fair
Me in the middle, all reticent and English and air
Well, I know

Chorus:
There where the kestrel hangs
You mouthed beware
There where the kestrel hangs
You mouthed beware
