Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you ate I saw your eyelashes
Saw them shake like wind on rushes
In the cornfield when she called me
Moths surround me, thought they'd drown me
[Verse 2]
And I miss your precious heart
And I miss your precious heart
[Verse 3]
Dried rose petals, red brown circles
Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles
Dried rose petals, red brown circles
Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles
[Verse 4]
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, water in
But though I tried so hard my little darlin'
I couldn't keep the night from coming in
[Verse 5]
And all those lonely night down by the river
Brought me bread and water by the kith and the kin
Now in the quiet hour when I am sleeping
I cannot keep the night from coming in
[Verse 6]
Why've you gone away?
Gone away again?
I'll sleep through the rest of my days
If you've gone away again
I'll sleep through the rest of my days
And I'll sleep through the rest of my days
And I'll sleep through the rest of my days
[Verse 7]
Why've you gone away
Seven suns, seven suns away
Away, away, away
[Verse 8]
Can you hear me? Will you listen?
Don't come near me, don't go missing
And in the lissome light of evening
Help me, Cosmia; I'm grieving
[Verse 9]
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, water in
But though I tried so hard my little darlin'
I couldn't keep the night from coming in
And all those lonely night down by the river
Brought me bread and water in the kith and the kin
Now in the quiet hour when I am sleeping
I cannot keep the night from coming in
[Verse 10]
Beneath the porch-light
We've all been circling
Beat our dust hearts
Singe our flower wings
But in the corner
Something is happenin'
Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?
[Verse 11]
Water were your limbs
And the fire was your hair
And then the moonlight caught your eye
And you rose through the air
Well, if you've seen true light
Then this is my prayer
[Verse 12]
Will you call me, when you get there?
[Verse 13]
And I miss your precious heart
And I miss your precious heart
And miss, and miss, and miss
And miss, and miss, and miss
And miss, and miss your heart
[Verse 14]
But release your precious heart
To its feast, for precious hearts
