Long Life Love

Lyrics for Long Life Love

The skeletal goes twirling in the sea For having been disobeyed two people The father had drowned his daughter's body No one could remember why exactly A lost fisherman thought he'd caught big fish The hanging bones were instead nightmarish He rushed back home with her caught in his line Lit a fire which appeased his panic Kind ladies untangled her from her kling To keep her warm, cloaked with furs and hides Starting to soften in the warm silence Fell asleep, untempted by her presence He was dreaming, a tear formed in his eyes She saw it shine, suddenly felt thirsty Unfurled her bones, brought her mouth to the tear She drank and drank, it flowed like a river Plunged her hand in and gently pulled his heart Her four-full drum that would follow her prayer They woke up all entwined, breath against breath Got up to live by the sea where they were fed By the ocean, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa No, they are not afraid, death has its place In order to create, in order to live Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa She'd beat the drum and would sing for new flesh Sing for hair, eyes, chubby hands, legs, and breasts All that are warm and needs wood and surface She sang some more to bear the sleeping child Slipped in back with him, new skin against skin Returned the heart, the magnificent drum
