Curses by the Crane Wives

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

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?

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

Oh, lay my curses out to rest

Make a mercy out of...
