The sun is fallen and it lies in blood The moon is weaving bandages of gold O Black Swan, where oh where is my lover gone? Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost, and my lamp is lost Silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun O Black Swan, where oh where has my lover gone? I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring And a golden ring Don't you hear your lover moan? Eyes of glass and feet of stone Shells for teeth and weeds for tongue Deep, deep down in the river's bed He's looking for the ring Eyes wide open, never asleep He's looking for the ring, looking for the ring The spools unravel and the needles break The sun is buried and the stars weep O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown Oh, take me down with you Take me down to my wand'ring lover With my child unborn With my child unborn Oh, oh The moon is weaving bandages of gold O black wave, O black wave, take me down with you Take me down with you Open-hearted as a heart can be 'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees Stitched together like pants and sleeves I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she Danced to dust and dusk and Strung along a highway I found my way, belligerent Following the stars of your eyes O Black Swan, where oh where is my lover gone? Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost, and my lamp is lost And if you take me inside And you give me a place to hide and cry I'll bathe you in the crystal light That sleeps between my thighs At times you fear the angel's sigh To the lord and heavens that this ain't right But in this chalice you'll find the wine Our hands hold bonfires burning bright And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind But I think you'll find that the lord is kind And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring O Black Swan, where oh where has my lover gone? I had given him a kiss of fire And a golden ring, and a golden ring Opened up a tiny chorus of swallows Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm Geometric patterns on the sun Eclipse, new moon Tempt my werewolf not to, not to run Tempt my werewolf not to run Tempt my werewolf not to run O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown O black wave, O black wave, take me down with you Take me down with you
