The Black Sun Lyrics

Jo Mango The Black Sun

The Black Sun
I fell in love with a starling
He died in my mother's arms
(He) was buried and exhumed
And now all I think of is (his) wings
Beating down hallways
And elfin eyes flashing
Round my room
I caught (a) fly between my fingers -- and a thumb
I looked in his thousandth eye
And I saw freedom
So I told him how I loved your bones
When we pulled them one by one
Out of the stone
I heard you singing
With tiny lungs
Of millions counted, one by one
And I'd seen you grow massive
My tiny one
And I feel that you're yearning
For the black sun
Oh I feel that you're yearning
For the black sun
In a dream last night
I spoke in tongues
Calling out like I was idle
A muster
A murder
A murmur
A muster
A murder
A murmur
A crow
A stork
A starling
Great clouds of them filled the skies
They fell thru roofs, and into pies
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da
La da da
So I told him how I loved your bones
When we pulled them one by one
Out of the stone
