She Swings

from Where I'm From (album) by WOLVEZ

/

lyrics

yes and no she sings as she swings amongst
the land less green than then

circling crows and rows of the shuttered boxes
deep in shadows loom

once she ran with ribbons in hair
and in her hand a handsome lad

he was cast cross seas upon smoking lands
and came back vacant stare

now they stroll, his legs not as quick as once before
she holds him stead

he speaks of things, clenched teeth still choking
on the ash that’s settled deep

She leads him home where walls once stood strong
until the sea it rose fire red

He finds the latch steps down and he’s with them
where they fell hands grasping air

mumbles psalms until the quick rustle
turns his gaze from floor to wall

wiry shape crawls forward into child
stricken gray and drawn, teeth bared

bites the hand, tears deep only ash escapes
the lad, he feels no pain

She leaps the stairs, closed door
throws the latch ….. yes and no she swings once more


yes and no, she swings once more

(repeat)

yes, and no she sings as she swings amongst the land less green than then
