Flesh Of My Flesh

from To The Place Is Home by Silver Sircus

/

lyrics

Phoebe hangs down, her pearls swing high
Dans le rouge et le noir, she corsets the sky
That carved twisted fig, her lovely lover now
She'll naked be, who'll tell you how? (the moon sings)
Flesh of my flesh, who are long gone, yet live within these trees, forever long
I'll tell them true of how I longed for you, and now breathe you into me, you breathe me too

From my man's love, from my own courage
Through troubled tales and deeply tangled times
The blood within we women gentle flows sobs and streams, not sentimental
Lust salted tears but bravely soldiers on to fight to feed those left amongst the carrion
To carry on, to carry on, to carry on, to carry on
Here after

And hidden in some old resume
Or on some mossy stones, somewhere may say
Some satin circus skirt, some crooked girl
Opened her chest but not breathed a word
Flesh of my flesh, who are long gone, yet live within these trees, forever long
I'll tell them true of how I longed for you, and now breathe you into me, you breathe me too

What's living still?
What threads will sustain us through troubled tales and deeply tangled times?
I'll not deny your sweet existence, but be here fierce and still persistent
In my love-embodied earth, where children's laughter
And tiny hands remain here after
Here after, here after, here after, here after …
