Clipped Wings
Can I cut you out of the frame?
Can I throw the remnants in the lake?
Cause I never wanted to yell murder in your name
I just want to die without your photo drenched in shame
For I will never be the same
And cold blood always leaves a stain
And oh oh oh, the lines they are so blue
And oh oh oh, the coat of arms you threw
For I never wanted to slaughter your game
To go on pining for a moon that only wanes
So take me out to the corn my love
Splash the water til it turns into mud
For my blood is frozen from the absence of love
Oh in the veins a far haunting calls your name
To your souls body which you never knew you gave
Away, into oblivion you threw
And his teeth have made a corpse of you
But you’ve come back with the clipped wings of a dove
And in this reverie you wrestled with your love
For my blood is frozen from the absence of love
So take the thorns out of me my love
And patch them up with your wounded love
We’re all tied up, now undo what you’ve done
And into soundness from your slaughter I will run
Can I cut you out of the frame?
Can I throw the remnants in the lake?
This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten
I can't say enough about this singer/songwriter. This older LP is totally immersive from first track to last, with Emily's voice at a mesmerizing front and center. I didn't pick a fav track bc it's too hard. They're all great. Eric Van Lustbader
