Steve Albini - Cosmia lyrics

When you ate I saw your eyelashes Saw them shake like Wind on rushes In the cornfield When she called me Moths surround me Thought they'd drown me And I miss your precious heart And I miss your precious heart Dried rose petals — Redbrown circles — Framed your eyes and Stained your knuckles 2x And all those lonely nights Down by the river You brought me bread and water (Water, in.); But though I tried so hard My little darlin I couldn't keep the night from coming in And all those lonely nights Down by the river I was brought my bread and water By the kith and the kin; Now in the quiet hour When I am sleeping I cannot keep the night from coming in Why've you gone away? Gone away again? I'll sleep through the rest of my days If you've gone away again I'll sleep through the rest of my days And I'll sleep through the rest of my days [x2] Why've you gone away Seven suns, seven suns away Away [x3] Can you hear me? Will you listen? Don't come near me. Don't go missing And in the lissome light of evening: Help me, Cosmia; I'm grieving And all those lonely nights Down by the river You brought me bread and water (Water, in.); But though I tried so hard My little darlin I couldn't keep the night from coming in And all those lonely nights Down by the river Brought my bread and water In the kith and the kin; Now in the quiet hour When I am sleeping I cannot keep the night from coming in * Beneath the porch-light We've all been circling Beat our dust hearts; Singe our flour wings But in the corner Something is happening! Wild Cosmia, what have you seen? Water were your limbs And the fire was your hair — And then the moonlight caught your eye And you rose through the air Well, if you've seen true light Then this is my prayer: Will you call me, when you get there? And I miss your precious heart; [x2] And miss, and miss, and miss & miss, & miss, & Miss, & miss, & miss your heart But release your precious heart To its feast, for precious hearts
