[00:06.00]@ @
[00:08.00]
[00:08.90]in another life
[00:11.68]you and I worked West Virginia coal mines
[00:17.58]side by side
[00:20.21]
[00:23.13]collecting the black dust like sin
[00:25.71]the day the main shaft caved in
[00:29.32]I caught your eye
[00:31.08]
[00:32.08]as the lantern light guttered out
[00:36.50]and the afterdamp swallowed us slowly
[00:42.51]
[00:43.71]I gripped your hand
[00:45.84]and caught a glance of the next time 'round
[00:50.89]
[00:52.35]in another life
[00:55.26]you and I were Red Guards in training
[01:00.37]side by side
[01:03.71]
[01:07.05]we marched on Tiananmen
[01:09.10]turned our own parents in for hoarding rice
[01:14.85]
[01:15.75]and in the Great Leap forward
[01:19.90]we crawled on our bellies and died
[01:26.35]
[01:27.35]a blood orange sky
[01:29.42]gave a cry of next time 'round
[01:32.63]
[01:33.55]in another life
[01:35.86]I was married at thirteen
[01:38.42]you were killed at twenty-one
[01:40.94]on a minor battlefield
[01:44.45]
[01:45.24]I was buried beside my second stillborn child
[01:53.16]my last thought it seemed
[01:59.56]a fever dream
[02:05.80]
[02:21.96]now we sink into a summer afternoon
[02:27.14]Central Park in June
[02:29.69]marveling at the bounty our days contain
[02:35.30]
[02:36.44]and we feel it like the shiver
[02:39.04]of a passing train
[02:42.63]that other life
[02:46.34]deep underground
[02:51.30]you and I
[02:57.47]side by side
[03:00.47]we are the next time 'round
[03:09.54]
