lyrics

I woke up to the singing birds
And asked their leader where do you belong
I was surprised to hear they had not heard the news
So I went into to town to listen

As I approached I heard the song of life
Silent footsteps on the way to nowhere
I wondered where all their love had gone
So I ran back to my bed

The pale dawn cried out to me
I found her sobbing in the lotus tree
We sobbed together and made love that day
Until we had to say goodbye

The child rested in my nervous arms
Awaiting breasts that could not come from me
He cried for momma oh so endlessly
So I jumped into the stars

Save a space for me
On the road to Hades

I will find a way to heaven
If I can
