As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul And I pretend to myself And I pretend to myself I go out To the old milestone Insanely expecting You to come there Knowing that I wait for you there That I wait for you there Come! Come! Come here at once Come! Come On a night with no moon Because all of my being is now in pining All of my being is now in pining What formerly had cheered me Now seems Insignificant Insignificant |

Dear darkness, dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again? Dear darkness, dear I've been your friend for many years Won't you do this for me, dearest darkness? And cover me from the sun And though the words tightening The words are tightening around my throat and, and Around the throat of the one I love Tightening, tightening, tightening Around the throat of the one I love Tightening, tightening, tightening Dear darkness, dear darkness Now it's your time to look after us ?Cause we kept your clothes, we kept your business When everyone else was having good luck So now it's your time, time to pay To pay me and the one I love With the worldly goods you stashed away With all the things you took from us |

I sowed a seed
Underneath the oak tree I trod it in With my boots I trampled it down Grow Grow Grow I sowed a rose Underneath the oak grove With my boots on the ground Into the earth I trampled it down Grow Grow Grow Teach me how to... Teach me how to... Teach me, Mommy How to grow How to catch someone's fancy Underneath the twisted oak grove |

The ceiling is moving
Moving in time Like a conveyor belt Above my eyes When under ether The mind comes alive But conscious of nothing But the will to survive I lay on the bed Waist down undressed Look up at the ceiling Feeling happiness Human kindness The woman beside me Is holding my hand I point at the ceiling She smiles so kind Something's inside me Unborn and unblessed Disappears in the ether This world to the next Disappears in the ether One world to the next Human kindness |

White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones White chalk sticking to my shoes White chalk playing as a child with you White chalk stands against time White chalk cutting down the sea at night I walk families by the surf On a path cut 1500 years ago And I know These chalk hills will rot my bones Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea Where I walked our unborn child in me White chalk, poor scattered land Scratched my palms, there's blood on my hands |

Please don't reproach me
For, for how empty My life has become I don?t know what really happened I watched your disappointment At being misunderstood I forgive you Oh, something metal Tearing my stomach out If you think ill of me Can you, can you forgive me? Forgive me Can you, can you forgive me Too, too? I tried to learn your language But fell asleep half-undressed Unrecognizable to myself |

All those places
Where I recall The memories that grip me And pin me down I go to these places Intending to think And think of nothing But anticipate Somehow expect you'll Find me there That by some miracle You'd be aware I'd risen this morning Intending to break The spell, my longing Not to think I freed myself from my family I freed myself from work I freed myself, I freed myself And remained alone And in my thinking Steal you away Though you never wanted me Anyway Silence, silence Silence, silence Silence, silence Silence, silence |

Oh, Grandmother
How I miss you Under the earth Wish I was with you To talk to you To talk to you I found somebody Tried to give myself to Many a times I wanted to talk to you If I laid on the earth Could you hear? Oh, Grandmother I?m so lonely All my life If I laid on the earth Could you hear? If I lay Mary |

Hit her with a hammer
Teeth smashed in Red tongue twitching Look inside her skeleton My fingers sting Where I feel your fingers have been Ghostly fingers Moving my limbs Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Daddy's in the corner Rattling his keys Mommy's in the doorway Trying to leave Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you Oh God I miss you |

Farewell, my friends
Farewell, my dear ones If I was rude Forgive my weakness Goodbye, my friends Goodbye to evening parties Remember me In the spring To work for your bread Soon you must leave Remember your families And work for your children I don't need much And the older I become I realize My friendships Will carry me over In a course of distance In a cause of sorrow Friends that last Will dance one more time With me I don't need much But this I need |

Above the mountain
The mountain An eagle Is flying High above the mountain An eagle calling down To the soldier who falters The soldier on the ground By the mountain I feel nothing For in my own heart Every tree is broken The first tree will not blossom The second will not grow The third is almost fallen Since you betrayed me so Since you |
