lyrics

Where may she be, my spiraling lady
Deep in the fires of the dark
I lay my head down in the lap of the lady
And bathe in the river of sparks

There's life and death
Death and life
And a black wound in every heart
Like ashes she poured
When the sweet night was over
Out of my cumbersome arms

She went down to the edge
Downward she wandered to bathe in the fires in the dark
Down to the end oh down my girl waded
Into the River of Sparks

Lay my head down
Lay my head down
Let this body rest
Lay this burden down
Lay this burden down
On my mother's breast

Where he may be
the lad whom I laid with
a thousand nights and more
well he's gone where the waters
Salve all remembrance
He's gone to the other shore
There's something he whispered that lives in our embers
Sparks that remember the soul
He vowed that in time he'd show me the secret
But i woke to a cold ring of coals

He went down to the edge
Downward he wandered To bathe in the fires in the dark
Down to the edge oh down my boy waded
Into the River of Sparks

Lay my head down
lay my head down
Let this body rest
Lay this burden down
Lay this burden down
on my mother's breast

Ohhh
Oh mother carry me
down to the sea
Down where my true love is waiting for me
oh mother mercy carry me home
Carry me down where the sweet water flows

There’s no band in New York like them.” ... more
