deep down in the seine - nancy andrews lyrics
[chorus]
deep down in the seine
there’s a glimmer of gold
of rusty ships
of diamonds and knives
deep down in the seine
there are bodies grown cold
deep down in the seine
are tears of wives
[verse 1]
deep down in the seine
there’s a glimpse of a flower
it lives on the mud
it lives on the slime
deep down in the seine
are hearts of many
who hurt too much
to live on to their prime
[verse 2]
and there are the stones
and whittled gray beasts
the soul of the sewers
breathing in the slop
the rings thrown in
by women loved the least
the feet cut off
by a propeller’s chop
[bridge]
and the ill*fated fruit of sterile wombs
the aborted things that no one knew
vomited up from the big city’s gloom
in these depths of the seine are these things too
[chorus]
oh, merciful seine
where the corpses disappear
oh, bed with your bedsheets
made of fog
oh, river of refuse
no beacon to cheer
a singer who soothes
a harbor, a morgue
[verse 3]
receive the poor
receive the woman
receive the drunk
receive the fool
drown with your waves
the sounds of their groans
and carry their hearts
and carry their hearts
and carry their hearts
down among the stones
[chorus]
deep down in the seine
there’s a glimmer of gold
of rusty ships
of diamonds and knives
deep down in the seine
there are bodies grown cold
deep down in the seine
are tears of wives
