Curses

Curses - The Crane Wives

Composed by：Emilee Petersmark

There's a fire in my brain and I'm burning up

Oh my oh my

Keep running for the sink but the well is dry

Oh my oh my

Every word I say is kindling

But the smoke clears when you're around

Won't you stay with me my darling

When my walls start burning down down down

This house says my name like an elegy

Oh my oh my

Echoing where my ghosts all used to be

Oh my oh my

There's still cobwebs in the corners

And the backyard's full of bones

Won't you stay with me my darling

When this house don't feel like home

When this house don't feel like home

Oh ashes ashes dust to dust

The devil's after both of us

Oh lay my curses out to rest

Make a mercy out of me

This tired old machine is a-rumbling

Oh my oh my

Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye

Oh my oh my

All my aching bones are trembling

And I may yet fall apart

Won't you stay with me my darling

When the war starts in my heart

When the war starts in my heart

Oh ashes ashes dust to dust

The devil's after both of us

Oh lay my curses out to rest

Make a mercy out of me

Oh ashes ashes dust to dust

Tell me I am good enough

Oh lay my curses out to rest

Make a mercy out of
