When the day, when the day falls to the light |
|
At the end, oh the end of my time |
|
I call to the dark take the bones off my back |
|
And I chant to the black you were my lady divine |
|
'Cause my children are in hiding |
|
Mortor and pestle they grind |
|
Those songs whistled through white teeth do scuff the days |
|
With songs for children to sing |
|
Those songs whistled through white teeth do scuff the days |
|
With songs for children to sing |
|
When the chairs are tucked into the fading song |
|
And the silver of their pours has grown long |
|
Oh, they call to the dark, take the bones off my back |
|
And they chant to the black you were my lady divine |
|
And they bloat like a bitter wine in their bellies |
|
'Cause the bones have been removed |
|
From their hunched over backs |
|
And their children are all grown now |
|
Mortor and pestle they grind |
|
Those songs whistled through white teeth still scuff the days |
|
With songs for children to sing |
|
Those songs whistled through white teeth still scuff the days |
|
With songs for children to sing |
|
Those songs for children to sing |
