Jolie Holland - Out On The Wine Dark Sea lyrics

rate me

Out on the wine dark sea, ma pretty baby and me

What do you mean when you say life is so long?

All I know is that I'm coming home to Maman

And Maman is so Erzulie Danto

Upon my tete

I wear my hat

An a long black coat

Sunglasses cracked

The smoke rise up

I pull you down

Down to the floor

Drag you around

Ghostly girl sure has grown

I ain't going to tell you what her car runs on

Sweet Mama in a yellow dress

Leave your heart in a white hot mess

Maman, Maman is so Erzulie Danto

That Loup Garroux will come for you

When you come to, you're all black and blue

Walking past the graveyard (on) your way home

Sing that song pour Ma Baron

Maman! Maman is so-- Maman is so Erzulie Danto

Ma Belle Jolie Madame Ochun

(We'll) sing your song pour La Claire de Lalinn

Meet her by the gate

Dance on the stones

Never get out of this world alone

Maman take you by the hand

Lead you out of this sorrowful land

MamanMaman is so Erzulie Danto
