bombs are whistling - joanna newsom lyrics

[verse]
i face it with my flayed skull
and await the morning wind
it burns like salt
it’s not your fault
that i have got no skin
i ran into the dawn
until my voice was gone
i called
“i love you through it all.”
[verse]
they said i couldn’t hold you
when i tried to take your hand
alarm bells rang
the nurse was saying things i can’t understand
too warm, too warm
i drew my arm away against the glass
“is he okay?”
my flayed skull asked

[chorus]
i prayed the fear would pass
they say you need me here
oh, and i need that
but i need it
my eyes scan every place
and i stand guard all night
in vigil, in warning and in waste
unheeded

[post*chorus]
wild, too cold and blue
but look at those curls
how do you do?

[verse]
though i cannot imagine
recall it or conceive
i’m not going far away
i know what i believe
i know, i know, i know
becuse they tell me that it’s true
that the spell will break and wake me anew
[verse]
so i sit and rock and rock through sp*ce
and kiss your face and sing
the smoke is thick
my skin is sick
the bombs are whistling
the death, the doom
the leaden, looming dread is always near
but i love you
and you are here

[chorus]
i feared that it had won
i feared that you would never find me
my darling son
but you found me
and though it took awhile
now i look and find your blinding starlight smile
surrounds me

[post*chorus]
we bleed through
clear and true
here with you now

[verse]
i wish that i could show you
what i know about this pain
i can’t now, i don’t know how
but i’ll be back again
for bowing in the scouring
wind that lays low everything
“i love you,”
my flayed skull sings
