David Sylvian & Robert Fripp - Earthbound (Starblind) lyrics

Like a black crow standing On a sea of shells She's blessed by magic And the sound of liberty's bells I'll raise the curfew And sit by her door But she's been through this war before Out in the snow fields Coyote tracks She calls out its name With the words I lack And it turns its head And howls to the moon She's gonna be leaving (believe in) me soon She's giving me questions And quizzical looks She tears up my papers And burns all my books They gave her nothing She didn't already know She's getting ready to go Down in the basement Among her things I opened her boxes And found all her rings I offered her money She said "They're not for sale" She guards her secrets well Somebody saw her Down on the beach I followed her footsteps But they ended at the sea Still, when she found out She goes and raises hell She guards her secrets well Each face is her mirror Reflecting her own She squanders affection And rarely goes home alone But I wouldn't ask for anything If only she'd tell me it's through She guards her secrets too Like a black crow standing On a sea of shells She's blessed by magic And the sound of liberty's bells I'll raise the curfew And sit by her door She's been through this war before
