lyrics

As the day began breaking the night forsaken
my lover she leaves through the window she came
Dressed in red warm winter flannel
My lips still sit the sound of her name

She came to me dancing a night left to passion
A fiddle it played our movements in time
Her hair spun gently the winds of the twilight
The dark was descending we paid no mind

The breath she was breathing heaving with the season
So we left the city for the rivers at dawn
Our skin touched gently the sands of the shoreline
Her skin turned rough her green eyes were gone

With the river flowing she turned to the ocean
Her hands gripped the stars covered their light
The tears from her laughter grew trees to surround me
I choked on their branches heavy with sight

so she leaves in the morning no word of her warning
I’m left with the forest her heart in my hand
It’s black as the stallion that rides into midnight
I weep for the woman the ground where she stands
