front cover of LP jacket. It reads "WHOLE EARTH CATALOGED" along the top, and in smaller text on the bottom it says "DRAGGING AN OX THRU WATER". There are some collaged black shapes on the white background, but most of the center is taken up by a black and white photo taken from above of someone sitting on some grass in the darkness next to a bright light - there is also a cat with bright reflective eyes visible toward the left. Collaged on top of the photo of are four pressed dogwood blossoms, and one of them has the black silhouette of a fifth blossom partially visible underneath it.

I Couldn't Say It To Your Face

Dragging An Ox Through Water

I COULDN'T SAY IT TO YOUR FACE (Arthur Russell)

I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
I needed a place, so I walked in the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more

It's my world, it's my song
Didn't ask you to sing along
In my arms, you girl
You won't be here to say I'm wrong

I couldn't say it to your face but I won't be around any more
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
I needed some space, so I walked out the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more

I heard them say
Maybe some day I'd have to pay
I don't say one word
To let you know I'm going away

I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
I needed a place, so I walked in the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around any more
