lyrics

Banshee’s hanging ‘round here I heard the saddest wail and, my dear, I’m scared to death, I smell the fear For the very first time in years I wish I could steal her song The way I did with your heart But the clean clothes of yesterday Woke up this morning dyed in red They said that it was my lack of will what was bringing me down I kept blaming those current times, my dull friends and this boring town But then you came like springtime With golden feathers, sweet little bird I was your shifter, you were my queen In this perfect scenery I wish I could steel that frame And relive it just one more time Aibhill they say it’s her name Tonight her song sound like a goodbye

Me parecía que el disco necesitaba un cuento, algo que nos devolviese a la infancia de algún modo. El personaje de la Llorona seguro que me hubiese dado jodido miedo de pequeño y decidí meterla en esta canción.
