[00:12.691] When you ate
[00:14.083] I saw your eyelashes
[00:23.763] Saw them shake like wind on rushes
[00:35.323] In the cornfield when she called me
[00:46.883] Moths surround me
[00:50.283] Thought they’d drown me
[00:57.378] And I miss your precious heart
[01:04.003] And I miss your precious heart
[01:14.994] Dried rose petals —
[01:16.415] redbrown circles —
[01:17.947] framed your eyes and
[01:19.315] stained your knuckles
[01:21.115] Dried rose petals —
[01:22.283] redbrown circles —
[01:23.995] framed your eyes and
[01:25.206] stained your knuckles
[01:40.838] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[01:44.322] brought you bread and water (Water, in)
[01:47.802] But though I tried so hard
[01:49.858] my little darlin
[01:51.643] I couldn’t keep the night from coming in
[01:55.419] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[01:59.217] brought me bread and water by the kith and the kin
[02:02.820] Now in the quiet hour
[02:04.938] when I am sleeping
[02:06.765] I cannot keep the night from coming in
[02:24.994] Why’ve you gone away?
[02:28.427] Gone away again?
[02:31.085] I’ll sleep through the rest of my days
[02:35.634] if you’ve gone away again
[02:38.523] I'll sleep through the rest of my days
[02:46.394] I'll sleep through the rest of my days
[02:49.842] And I will sleep through the rest of my days
[03:19.530] Why’ve you gone away, away
[03:27.282] Seven suns, seven suns away, away
[03:39.546] Away, away
[03:48.274] Can you hear me?
[03:49.313] Will you listen?
[03:50.739] Don’t come near me
[03:52.089] Don’t go missing
[03:53.746] And in the lissome light of evening:
[03:56.306] Help me, Cosmia; I’m grieving
[04:12.730] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[04:16.346] brought you bread and water (Water, in)
[04:19.873] But though I tried so hard
[04:22.273] my little darlin
[04:23.665] I couldn’t keep the night from coming in
[04:27.217] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[04:30.957] brought me bread and water by the kith and the kin
[04:34.812] Now in the quiet hour
[04:36.746] when I am sleeping
[04:38.641] I cannot keep the night from coming in
[04:52.857] Beneath the porch-light
[04:56.473] we’ve all been circling
[05:02.812] Beat our dust hearts
[05:06.474] singe our flour wings
[05:13.385] But in the corner
[05:16.393] something is happening!
[05:23.897] Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?
[05:34.553] Water were your limbs
[05:37.014] and the fire was your hair
[05:45.059] and then the moonlight caught your eye
[05:50.137] And you rose through the air
[05:55.873] well, if you’ve seen true light
[05:59.257] then this is my prayer:
[06:06.729] will you call me when you get there?
[06:12.240] And I miss your precious heart
[06:17.465] And I miss your precious heart
[06:22.831] and miss, and miss, and miss
[06:25.537] and miss, and miss, and miss
[06:28.640] and miss, and miss your heart
[06:39.665] But release your precious heart
[06:45.293] to its feast, for precious hearts
[00:12.691] When you ate
[00:14.083] I saw your eyelashes
[00:23.763] Saw them shake like wind on rushes
[00:35.323] In the cornfield when she called me
[00:46.883] Moths surround me
[00:50.283] Thought they' d drown me
[00:57.378] And I miss your precious heart
[01:04.003] And I miss your precious heart
[01:14.994] Dried rose petals
[01:16.415] redbrown circles
[01:17.947] framed your eyes and
[01:19.315] stained your knuckles
[01:21.115] Dried rose petals
[01:22.283] redbrown circles
[01:23.995] framed your eyes and

[02:38.523] I' ll sleep through the rest of my days
[02:46.394] I' ll sleep through the rest of my days
[02:49.842] And I will sleep through the rest of my days
[03:19.530] Why' ve you gone away, away

[04:12.730] And all those lonely nights down by the river
[04:16.346] brought you bread and water Water, in
