34 Blues

Hold me now in the darkness
Hold me now in the crossroad fire
Hold me now in the coming storm
Bring the north star down
Count every ghost in the prairie dawn
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
Leave each night a new horizon
Finally calls me in

An unforgotten thing
Among forgotten things
Grace and hope _______ leave between
For so long now
Only for my little queen

When I have strayed in the wilderness
First come silence then you ring the bell
You can have my heart, not my secret
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
Shepherd girl of the afterworld
