Broken Spinning Wheel Lyrics
Stepping gently down the garden row
Susie, she prays, but yet nothing grows
Empty driveway and a flagpole tap
Breeze at her back and her hands in her lap
Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
Mother passed away and left her these
Porcelain cups and hidden memories
Photographs of who she used to be
Clothes and a broken spinning wheel
Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
In a book when he goes out of town
"....." Susie can't pronounce
Does she want a baby anymore?
Does she want the place she wishes for?
But Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
Susie, she prays, but yet nothing grows
Empty driveway and a flagpole tap
Breeze at her back and her hands in her lap
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
Porcelain cups and hidden memories
Photographs of who she used to be
Clothes and a broken spinning wheel
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
"....." Susie can't pronounce
Does she want a baby anymore?
Does she want the place she wishes for?
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"

The beauty of this song is infinite and unparalleled.
I love this song but for the life of me I can't understand what Sam sings right before "...Susie can't pronounce." But maybe that's the point. Anyway, I think this song is about an expecting couple where the wife is having doubts about how she will compare to her own mom as a mother, which leads her to consider an abortion.
Recently I've been listening to Sam's early demos and unreleased material a lot more than his albums, and this song has quickly become one of my favorite songs by him. Absolutely gorgeous.

Another song of Sam's that conveys such depth of meaning in so simple words.
