Ana Silvera - Coronation Dance lyrics

I walk at low tide And watch that rag-grey sea Trammel down the shoreline To tear dust factories And I salute the magpie And sing a sad luck blues And try to find a picture That could take the place of you But you're residing in me An unintended guest And now you've brought your friends and all your family I've not a second's rest I know I sinned and gambled and I wagered that I was immune Like Troilus in the temple mocking star-struck lovers much too soon It was me of course who was on course to get it in the eye Darling, won't you hear my heart come riding stoned and blind When the city's on you, and its scratching to get in And the night is blacker than a plague of devil's wings I'll be waiting in the doorway, for your mouth on my skin And the stars will rain down silver like the angel's lucky win And the road lines will pluck tuneful on their vagrant violin And your words will taste of bourbon, and your hands will make me sing We'll walk at low tide And watch that eye-gla** sea Trammel down the shoreline To tear dust factories With a rose of black hawthorn And an ermine out of down We'll toast the coronation To the very best love in town But now you've taken over It's a mutiny You've changed the locks And left me in a strange and somehow altered key I know I sinned and gambled and I boasted that I was immune Like Troilus in the court I didn't count upon the sight of you It was me, of course, who was on course to get it in the eye Darling, won't you hear my heart come riding stoned and blind
