The Plains / Bitter Dancer

Just as the sand made everything round

Just as the tar seeps up from the ground

Bitter dancer, ever turning

So was the day that you came to town

You took a room and you settled in

Washed off the chalk from your weathered skin

Daylight sleeper

Bloody reaper

You took a room and you settled in

I should have known one day you would come

All of us walk so blind in the sun

Midnight feeder, beggar, pleader

I should had known one day you would come

Tell me again my only son

Tell me again what have you done

At arm's length

I will hold you there

There

At arm's length

I will hold you there

There
