Hospitality - Julie lyrics

rate me

Is it gold?

Is it snow?

Is it all the debt I owe?

That money buys on a clock

On a silver studded bead

That I wore back then

When my head was thin

And I sewed and I sewed

All the ribbons on my coat

Seventeen past a year

Only breath could keep my heels

On the street

Thanking broad strong backs that built

All the roads and mines

That were left behind

Digging coal, digging coal

Used their bodies to feed their homes

Picking at the meat, dear

You won’t break my wish

I took my half

Throwing out the seeds dear

Hope this dirt will bind

And grow a tree

Saffron blows in the yard

Getting tossed a tasseled toe

Keep your hair tied to touch

In a brown unfolding bun

When it fell back down

Did it leave your crown

With the cloth that you bought

That was eaten by the moths

Calling out a wave dear

Calling out a wave will be your grave

This will last your life dear

Ocean is a boy who wastes his day

Calling out a wave dear

Calling out a wave will be your grave

This will last your life dear

Ocean is a boy who wastes his day
