LAURA VEIRS

Black Gold Blues

Bird of prey

Gonna float away

To a feather cloud formation

I'm gonna dig

For pretty and strange

Gonna open me up

A black gold vein

Arrow on fire

Flash the night

Gonna fade away

To the trees and caves

Salt-salt lamp

Romance the spark

And you'll shine shine shine

Up up the wild deep dark

A sliver, a crack of light

Is all you need to see…

Ten black stars

At my windowpane

That's ten pretty stars

Circle in my veins

Old barbed wire

Gonna fight and sting

Just ten little stars

Gonna make me sing

A sliver, a crack of light

Is all you need to see…
