My Brightest Diamond
"Bass Player"

bass player all alone
makes a sound most wouldn’t call a symphony
as he plays thinks of maid sad and shuffling

she sings blow me a kiss before i drown in sorrow
blow me a kiss before i drown

he saw her by the moon
dress in hand her hips were swayin’
melancholy tune broken buckles tired lips

she was singing
blow me a kiss before i drown in sorrow
blow me a kiss before i drown in laundry

she said i want to be with the stars tonight so i can fly above the laundry
