Woman King

Lyrics

Blackbird claw, raven wing Under the red sunlight Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves Waving as we go by Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see A woman king, wristwatch time Slowing as she goes to sleep Black horsefly, lemonade Jar on the red anthill Garden worm, cigarette Ash on the windowsill Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see A woman king, sword in hand Swing at some evil and bleed Black hoof mare, broken leg Eye on the shotgun shell Age-old dog, hornet nest Built in the big church bell Hundred years, hundred more Someday we may see A woman king, bloodshot eye Thumb down and starting to weep
