Letra de Same Brown Earth

The sun came down from black And from the dim made light From dumb made a word In a blink made an eye And in a beat made a heart And in a beat made a heart It was when a man Was a ribbon set on fire Was a sea, salt and ash When woman was a rock On distant mountain top When woman was like glass Reflecting as a mirror When man was December Fog laying low in the valley And a woman was the torch Bright in the dark With full cup and open hand Gave milk and fed bread To the lost sons of Adam Cooking up in kitchens, in rooms In doom grey tent homes of The aged or desperate Of the drunk and forgotten So true they rest Rest in the earth And become the earth Under carpets of dandelions Blowing their seed across the breeze Across that same brown earth To rise and sing again To rise and sing again
