Laura Veirs - Black Gold Blues lyrics

Bird of prey Gonna float away To a feather cloud formation I'm gonna dig For pretty and strange Gonna open me up A black gold vein Arrow on fire Flash the night Gonna fade away To the trees and caves Salt-salt lamp Romance the spark And you'll shine shine shine Up up the wild deep dark A sliver, a crack of light Is all you need to see… Ten black stars At my windowpane That's ten pretty stars Circle in my veins Old barbed wire Gonna fight and sting Just ten little stars Gonna make me sing A sliver, a crack of light Is all you need to see…
