lyrics

6. Dead Man's Hand

I lay on the sand beside my mother the sea She whispered to me of corn and water A women’s wisdom Laughing daughters I will be your man I walked the hill and all the while My father the sun sang me the song Of the earth and sky The strong arm and clear eye I will be your man We married in a sailor’s church My father the sun came shinning through The windows on you and I In our finest clothes All of heaven knew I would be your man I will be your man Five dark fingers of good brown bog A dead man’s hand in a cold grey sea Four warm inlets of lacy foam Oh lover be kind to me I will be your man again
