Lady Sea, Oh Fair

Never once in the light of the moon's eye did I dare to wink
Forced asunder, thrown to the twilight, people spit at me
Eyes propped open, forced to watch the bull pin, see how they speak
Ears sharpened, leaned toward my back end, listen carefully

And when my colors run
They would all omit me
For bread and lotion
I could not look to local medicine

Had I bruised my knee or cut my tongue on the sun

Out to sea I left naturally, kicked lowly off the beach
Within me, a dark storm breathes, breaks the toes on my feet
Broken bones won't bottle my banded, ragged, tattered sheets
And out at sea I drift naturally, kicked square in the teeth

But a cold dyin' song blows high, through a trumpet in the sky
The notes held down through the brass would fly
Downwind I rest, sheets written with I
Covered in black ink and goodbyes
The music I once heard, no matter how hard I try

I couldn't play the game the same anymore

With this passing hour
All the waves left around me
My tears would calm the children
And fill the lakes and streams of this world as I die

And then I'm left out here alone
