Black Pear Tree

I dug a hole and filled it up with compost\nRested on the cool grass for a minute\nI saw the future in a dream last night\nThere’s nothing in it\nI set the sapling in the hole\nStarted gently tamping down the dirt\nI saw the future in a dream last night\nSomebody’s gonna get hurt, somebody’s gonna get hurt\nI hope it’s not me But I suspect it’s going to have to be\nI dug my heels in for the winter\nAnd I waited for the snow\nBut something was stuck up in the clouds\nSomething was stuck up there\nIt couldn’t let go And when its time came I could see it happen\nBlossoms black and sweet as Texas crude\nI saw the future flowering like a ruptured vessel\nSomebody’s gonna get screwed\nIt won’t be me Someday I am going to walk out of here free
