Weakerthans - Elegy For Elsabet Lyrics lyrics
rate meSo the fields are stubble, the garden's done where the scary scarecrow
stands, sees her holding up horizons with her hands. She's so tired of
reading Daddy's lips - -that essay on a frown. Watch her memories of
human voices drown. Let horsey bray break between the thunder boom.
Make grasses' swish meet the cricket's ring. Let every sound consecrate
our whispering words that Betta never heard. The backlanes tie the city
down; a mess of dirty string. Winter dies the same way every spring.
As the sky tries on its uniform of turned off t.v. grey, and the ways we
watched her watch us walk away. Let every rain clatter down at groaning
streets. Make footsteps tick, talk to echoed walls. Let every sound
consecrate our whispering the words that Betta never heard. Let every
wind howl and creak the creaking doors to rooms that too much has
happened in. Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words that
Betta never heard.
