lyrics

And because she’d never tasted wild sorrow before, he said

Here. Drink from my lashes,
Of the Water, where the Sorrow has swum.
Here. Drink from my lashes,
See how it lingers, leaving Salt on the tongue?

Like crushed seashells.

It leaves Salt on the tongue.

And desert sands are weeping.
It leaves Salt on the tongue, on the tongue, on the tongue, on the
tongue on the tongue on the tongue.

And Grandmother! Do you remember the day so well?

When you filled all the buckets in your eyes with the waters from that old Wisdom Well?

And it was your Saving Grace. How the water aged your face.
