[00:12.330] When you ate
[00:13.906] I saw your eyelashes
[00:24.011] Saw them shake like wind on rushes
[00:35.762] In the cornfield when she called me
[00:47.597] Moths surround me
[00:51.402] Thought they’d drown me
[00:59.171] And I miss your precious heart
[01:05.130] And I miss your precious heart
[01:16.009] Dried rose petals —
[01:17.579] redbrown circles —
[01:19.305] framed your eyes and
[01:20.621] stained your knuckles
[01:22.338] Dried rose petals —
[01:24.004] redbrown circles —
[01:25.689] framed your eyes and
[01:27.002] stained your knuckles
[01:43.393] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[01:47.209] brought you bread and water (Water, in)
[01:51.323] But though I tried so hard
[01:53.883] my little darlin
[01:55.401] I couldn’t keep the night from coming in
[01:59.809] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[02:03.545] brought me bread and water by the kith and the kin
[02:07.545] Now in the quiet hour
[02:10.026] when I am sleeping
[02:11.741] I cannot keep the night from coming in
[02:58.984] Why’ve you gone away?
[03:03.328] Gone away again?
[03:06.913] I’ll sleep through the rest of my days
[03:11.185] if you’ve gone away again
[03:15.712] I'll sleep through the rest of my days
[03:24.809] I'll sleep through the rest of my days
[03:29.097] And I will sleep through the rest of my days
[04:03.563] Why’ve you gone away, away
[04:11.464] Seven suns, seven suns away, away
[04:32.432] Away, away
[04:43.664] Can you hear me?
[04:45.034] Will you listen?
[04:46.608] Don’t come near me
[04:48.118] Don’t go missing
[04:50.023] And in the lissome light of evening:
[04:52.976] Help me, Cosmia; I’m grieving
[05:11.189] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[05:14.971] brought you bread and water (Water, in)
[05:19.052] But though I tried so hard
[05:21.519] my little darlin
[05:23.191] I couldn’t keep the night from coming in
[05:27.152] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[05:31.160] brought me bread and water by the kith and the kin
[05:35.247] Now in the quiet hour
[05:37.863] when I am sleeping
[05:39.471] I cannot keep the night from coming in
[05:54.799] Beneath the porch-light
[05:58.976] we’ve all been circling
[06:05.547] Beat our dust hearts
[06:10.007] singe our flour wings
[06:17.240] But in the corner
[06:21.519] something is happening!
[06:28.775] Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?
[06:40.727] Water were your limbs
[06:43.466] and the fire was your hair
[06:51.982] and then the moonlight caught your eye
[06:55.311] And you rose through the air
[07:03.847] well, if you’ve seen true light
[07:07.167] then this is my prayer:
[07:15.356] will you call me when you get there?
[07:21.311] And I miss your precious heart
[07:26.599] And I miss your precious heart
[07:32.097] and miss, and miss, and miss
[07:34.951] and miss, and miss, and miss
[07:38.178] and miss, and miss your heart
[07:49.391] But release your precious heart
[07:54.867] to its feast, for precious hearts
[00:12.330] When you ate
[00:13.906] I saw your eyelashes
[00:24.011] Saw them shake like wind on rushes
[00:35.762] In the cornfield when she called me
[00:47.597] Moths surround me
[00:51.402] Thought they' d drown me
[00:59.171] And I miss your precious heart
[01:05.130] And I miss your precious heart
[01:16.009] Dried rose petals
[01:17.579] redbrown circles
[01:19.305] framed your eyes and
[01:20.621] stained your knuckles
[01:22.338] Dried rose petals

[05:11.189] And all those lonely nights down by the river
