Augie March - Owen's Lament lyrics
Level your fretting. I won't be forgetting the flush of your face When I lifted you level to me and a wattle tree framed your body. In whispers welling with the dope of a new Spring You said "Kill me a dynasty or our love won't mean a thing..." A bullet for a diamond ring. A favour promised A promise delivered and more to you - It's only a war I'll be back to your shore before you know it I'm gone, Then I'll cover you body. And if you have to go please go lightly, Keep it to a foxtrot whether he's a fox or not. Keep it cold, keep all your heat for me - I'll be needing it for when I'm cold you see? Let your children remind you of me Whether by another or by the ghost in me in you - There goes my baby. I would think of you and a palmtree would cover your body. You - in love and war we are bound by a law, it goes to you and then to yours to recover my body. She bound me up and hugged me 'O how the mother loves thee' She covered my body In a ragged flag and bloody - O not on your life. |
