Lips Stained Red with Wine
written by Kim beggs
from the album Wanderer's Paean
Kim Beggs – vocals ⁄ guitar
Bob Hamilton – vocals ⁄ rayco ⁄ upright bass
Restless in one family knot
My heart beat unbraided thoughts
And I too bramble to be taut
Beyond this mountain bid me come
Lips stained red with wine
Up all night with the stars they shone
Firelight wakes the dawn
When will my song be sung
Sisters ribbons all undone
And their husband's hats are hung
And I too bramble to be stung
For yonder mountain, my heart strums
A babe in arms make woman render
Mama mourned with eyes so tender
That I too bramble to surrender
On one mountain we did sunder
Lips stained red with wine
Up all night with the stars they shone
Firelight wakes the dawn
When will my song be sung
A maiden still I journey through
With walking stick and heart stained blue
Not I too bramble, too fermenting
Yonder mountains streams are quenching
Lips stained red with wine
Up all night with the stars they shone
Firelight wakes the dawn
To sing 'til day is done
