Curses
The Crane Wives
[Verse 1]
There's a fire in my brain and I'm burning up
Oh my, oh my
Keep running for the sink but the well is dry
Oh my, oh my

Every word I say is kindling
But the smoke clears when you're around
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When my walls start burning down, down, down?

[Verse 2]
This house says my name like an elegy
Oh my, oh my
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
Oh my, oh my

There's still cobwebs in the corners
And the backyard's full of bones
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When this house don't feel like home?
When this house don't feel like home?
[Chorus]
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil's after both of us
Oh, lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me

[Verse 3]
This tired old machine is a-rumbling
Oh my, oh my
Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye
Oh my, oh my

All my aching bones are trembling
And I may yet fall apart
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When the war starts in my heart?
When the war starts in my heart?

[Chorus]
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil's after both of us
Oh, lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Oh, lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of
