  • Joanna Newsom Joanna Newsom - Cosmia Lyrics

           

    Cosmia

    When you ate I saw your eyelashes
    Saw them shake like wind on rushes
    In the corn field when she called me
    Moths surround me, thought they'd drown me

    And I miss your precious heart
    And I miss your precious heart

    Dried rose petal, red brown circles
    Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles
    Dried rose petal, red brown circles
    Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles

    And all those lonely nights down by the river
    Brought me bread and water, water in
    But though I tried so hard my little darling
    I couldn't keep the night from coming in

    And all those lonely nights down by the river
    I was brought my bread and water by the kith and the kin
    Now in the quiet hour when I am sleepin'
    I cannot keep the night from comin' in

    Why've you gone away
    Gone away again
    I'll sleep through the rest of my days
    If you've gone away again
    I sleep through the rest of my days
    And I sleep through the rest of my days
    And I sleep through the rest of my days

    Why've you gone away, away
    Seven suns, seven suns
    Away, away, away, away

    Can you hear me, will you listen
    Don't come near me, don't go missing
    In the lissome light of evening
    Help me, Cosmia, I'm grieving

    And all those lonely nights down by the river
    Brought me bread and water, water in
    But though I tried so hard my little darling
    I couldn't keep the night from coming in

    And all those lonely nights down by the river
    I was brought my bread and water by the kith and the kin
    Now in the quiet hour when I am sleepin'
    I cannot keep the night from comin' in

    Beneath the porch light we've all been circling
    Beat our dust hearts, singe our flour wings
    But in the corner, something is happening
    Wild Cosmia, what have you seen

    Water were your limbs, and the fire was her hair
    And then the moonlight caught your eye
    And you rose through the air
    Well, if you've seen true light, then this is my prayer
    Will you call me when you get there

    And I miss your precious heart
    And miss, and miss, and miss
    And miss, and miss, and miss, and miss, and miss your heart
    But release your precious heart
    To its feast, for precious hearts
