Deborah Stokol - Old Wives’ Tales

The Figurehead

I once was a Figurehead
My arms by my side like lead
But I leapt off from the prow
I made my way and how

Hand me the keys
Oh, share your secrets, please
I'll sing you my song
We've longed for this so long

Pass me the ribbon
And tie and paint it crimson
I'll sew you a poppet
You'll hide it in your pocket

Crown me with roses
And scatter all the posies
Paint the door blue
The joy's being here with you

I'll write you the book
You'll carry it in the crook / of your arm
Cloak me in Myth
We'll stand by Monoliths /of Old
