Yellow Paper Skin

from All In The End Is Harvest by Eleanor Brown

lyrics

You died at dawn when the city stilled calm after the storm
It was so brutal and so cruel and yet so beautiful
They said you waited for my voice so we dove into the night
Just to whisper in your ear you can let go yes it’s all right
And I don’t know if death is what it seems
Or what it really means
But I hope that you could hear us and I hope you went in peace
And I’m so sorry that it’s done when you hadn’t long begun
But I hope that you knew love yes I hope that you knew love
On the first day of the year amongst the cold southern fells
I heard you whisper in my ears amongst the wind I couldn’t tell
Beneath the apricot skies as the sun began to rise
And on the mountain that we climbed
Oh I prayed with all my might
And I don’t know if death is what it seems
Or what it really means
But I hope that you could feel us and I hope you went in peace
And I’m so sorry that it’s done when you hadn’t long begun
But I’m glad that you knew love
Yes I’m glad that you knew love
And your eyes all sunken in and your yellow paper skin
I can barely take it in even now I can’t begin
You died at dawn when the city stilled calm after the storm
It was so beautiful and cruel and so damn brutal.
