That Poor Girl

from Skeletons by The Deaf Hear

/

lyrics

She is born of herself
And of herself she is born
She is the mother of life
And mothered by another
In some other life

And there she lay awake
As she sleepily awaits
The morning's greetings
She is amazing
And she is amazed by the way in which
The day and the night trade shifts
The day and the night trade shifts

It silences the quiet
And it roars with the majesty of the lion
Behind its bars
And it finds its steps
On the pathway back to God

See these men they come, and these men they go
Whilst a little girl
No older than a little girl
Nurses a wound he had left in her side
And from this wound, restless beauty
No man could leave behind
No man could leave behind
