Lila Downs - Shake Away ( lyrics

You know mama told me now You're a child on your way Don't you bother looking back At the steps you took today I feel swallowed by the road Like a man without a name 'Cause the poison in my skin Has the color of your game Shake away, shake away All the many sorrows Slide away, slide away Like a rattlesnake Shake away, shake away All the dry and loose skin All the anger and the hate Like a rattlesnake Take me away To the wind of November You are my thunder My path and my voice Take me away To the place in your story 'Cause I can taste Bitterness in your tongue Can you hear me, mama? Can you hear me, sister? Can you hear me, child? Can you hear me, mama? Can you hear me, sister? Can you hear me, child? Shake away, shake away All the many sorrows Slide away, slide away Like a rattlesnake Shake away, shake away All the dry and loose skin All the anger and the hate Like a rattlesnake Take me away To the wind of November You are my thunder My path and my voice Take me away To the place in your story 'Cause I can taste Bitterness in your tongue Can you hear me, mama? Can you hear me, sister? Can you hear me, child, child? Can you hear me, mama? Can you hear me, sister? Can you, can you hear me, child?
