lyrics

You said your lines, dropped your head
And hid your eyes behind your crow-black hair
Seventy years cannot hide the look of sadness that was
Frozen there
And as I think upon it now
I’m reminded of a summer day
When I held a dying bird and watched it suffer
Watched it fade away
And I hated time
And I cursed a world
That let beauty understand despair
And I wept for it
Like I wept for you
And for everything beyond repair
For bodies die and nitrate burns
But our memories are here to stay
The edge may dull but the point stays sharp
And it stings us to our final days

Cat Hair Ensemble Los Angeles, California

Melodies that cough and choke as much as they croon...dance tunes for one-legged dancers...nervous tangos, club-footed waltzes, gallows swing.
