Blackbird claw, raven wing Under the red sunlight Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves Waving as we go by
Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see a Woman king, wristwatch time Slowing as she goes to sleep.
Black horse fly, lemonade Jar on the red ant hill Garden worm, cigarette Ash on the window sill
Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see a Woman king, sword I hand Swing at some evil and bleed.
Black hoof mare, broken leg Eye on the shot gun shell Age old dog, hornet nest Built in the big church bell
Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see a Woman king, bloodshot eye Thumb down and starting to weep.

My Trusted MOGs
this is, in my mind, one of the most beautiful, perfect, haunting albums ever produced. I can listen and just close my eyes...and suddenly i'm shivering as flashes of fog and forest and tribes forgotten envelope me. This and Jezebel - simply stunning. thanks for the post.
