歌词
He kissed her once as she leaned on the windowsill
♪
She'll never love him but knows that her father will
♪
Her fallen fruit is all rotten in the middle
But her breast never dries when he's hungry
♪
The money came and she died in her rocking chair
♪
The window wide and the rain in her braided hair
♪
A letter locked in the pattern of her knuckle
Like a hymn to the house she was making
♪
Blind and whistling just around the corner
And there's a wind that is whispering something
Strong as hell but not hickory rooted
♪
She kissed him once 'cause he gave her a cigarette
♪
And turned around but he waits like a turned down bed
And summer left like her walking with another
And the sound of the church bell ringing
♪
The money came and he died like a butterfly
♪
A buried star in the haze of the city lights
A gun went off and her mother dropped her baby
On a blue feathered wing, we were lucky
♪
Blind and whistling just around the corner
And there's a wind that is whispering something
Strong as hell but not hickory rooted
