Dorothea Lasky - The End lyrics

Promising myself  I would not do this again Is what kept me going A friend told me to And I listened Taking a thing to the end of its life Is what I was made to do I think I am not attuned To the things that breathe Well that's not true I am in tune to breath and life And little falls of  flowers When the moon was high I went out to the stream And brought in the water For my folks, my kin, my brethren I brought in the greenish milk To feed the ones who were already dying Oh did they go Oh I do not know
