Song For Sandy

(앨범: Cusp - 2018)

A lady came from London town
Her voice like water from a snowmelt stream
Shared her songs in drunken rooms
Never once sang out of tune

How wrestling stars ricochet, and carry on
Caught in time forever more, just thirty-one
She said, motherless children have a hard time
When mother's gone
But she left her baby girl alone
And nothing could be done
Nothing could be done

When her love and child went
Her heart hung heavy as a noose from a beam
She said herself, the wine it was drunk
I wonder if the dream it came back

How wrestling stars ricochet, and carry on
Caught in time forever more, just thirty-one
She said, motherless children have a hard time
When mother's gone
But she left her baby girl alone
And nothing could be done
Nothing could be done

How the raven's arrival did ruin the mood
Of the lilacs blooming that pale spring day
When she came to be the light through the rain
Her melodies were all that remained
That remained, that remained
