Cosmia versuri

Cosmia lyrics by Lee Wanner

When you ate
I saw your eyelashes
Saw them shake like
Wind on rushes

In the cornfield
When she called me
Moths surround me
Thought they’d drown me

And I miss your precious heart
And I miss your precious heart

Dried rose petals
Red brown circles
Frame your eyes and
Stain your knuckles
Dried rose petals
Red brown circles
Frame your eyes and
Stain your knuckles

And all those lonely nights
Down by the river
You brought me bread and water
Water in
And though I tried so hard
My little darlin’
I couldn’t keep the night from coming in

And all those lonely nights
Down by the river
You brought me bread and water
By the kith and the kin
Now in the quiet hour
When I am sleeping
I cannot keep the night from coming in

Why’ve you gone away?
Gone away again?
I’ll sleep for the rest of my days
If you’ve gone away again
And I’ll sleep through the rest of my days
And I’ll sleep through the rest of my days
And I’ll sleep through the rest of my days

Why’ve you gone away?
Seven suns, seven suns away
Away, away, away

Can you hear me? Will you listen?
Don’t come near me. Don’t go missing
And in the lissome light of evening
Help me, Cosmia, I’m grieving

And all those lonely nights
Down by the river
You brought me bread and water
Water in
And though I tried so hard
My little darlin’
I couldn’t keep the night from coming in

And all those lonely nights
Down by the river
Brought my bread and water
In the kith and the kin
Now in the quiet hour
When I am sleeping
I cannot keep the night from coming in

Beneath the porch-light
We’ve all been circling
Beat our dust hearts
Singe our flour wings
But in the corner
Something is happening
Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?

Water were your limbs
And the fire was your hair
And then the moonlight caught your eye
And you move through the air
Well, if you’ve seen true light
Then this is my prayer

Will you call me when you get there?
And I miss your precious heart
And I miss your precious heart
And miss, and miss, and miss
And miss, and miss, and
Miss, and miss, and miss your heart

But release your precious heart
To its feast for precious hearts

Dun dun, dun dun dun
Dun dun dun, dun dun dun
Dun dun, dun dun dun
Dun dun dun, dun dun
