Laura Veirs Lyrics

"Wide-Eyed, Legless" lyrics


Down among the dead
The wide-eyed
And the legless
Only half a head
Half a mouth to
Laugh in the porthole
With the mold and
Faded epitaphs

Will you evermore tie
Up my hair with velvet bows?
Will you evermore pull
Out the splinters from my toes?
I don't think so

Out in the hornet rain
The swarming stingers pumping
Poison through my veins
Lying on the
Star-crossed lover's map
Take the beating
Lash, lash for lash

Will we evermore kiss
On the boardwalk's fading rail?
In the light of the waves
And the comet's waning tail?
I don't think so

No more looking back
Faded epitaphs…
