Heron Blue

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Don't cry my love don't cry no more

A crashing sky a rolling screen

A city drown in God's black tears

I cannot bear to see herShe lay under the midnight moon

Her restless body stiring

Until the magic morning hour

Like poison it succumbs herHer baby skin her old black dress

Her hair it twists round her necklace

Constricts and chokes like ruthless vines

'Til sleep she overtakes herHer room is painted heron blue

Lit by candlelight and chandelier

And from her headboard perched so high

A million dreams have passed herDon't cry my love don't cry no more

It overwhelms my breaking heart

A minor swell of violins

I cannot bear to hear themA mother shepherds her young birds

She fills their mouths and warms their souls

Til they are strong and good to fly

Away from her alone she'll dieCradled on quiet old oak limbs

As heaven blue her light fails

A breath of soot into her lungs

A life, a journey's end in oneDon't sing that old sad hymn no more

It resonates inside my soul

It haunts me in my waking dream

I cannot bear to hear itDon't play those violins no more

Their melancholic overtones

They echo off the floor and walls

I cannot bear to hear them

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
