great cold emptiness - the breadmaker's daughter lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a dark wind blows
a woman gathers her clothes before the coming storm
her curtains dance

[verse 2]
she shouts her husband’s name
to a plaguelike sky
thunder rolls on by

[verse 3]
her daughter rests by the shoreline
a sun waits behind an iron armada
his gentle kiss blows away from her

[verse 4]
when she sleeps, her mother curses the northern winds
a pasture, a well and the first harvest of the year
to dream is to die alone
to stay is to die inside

[verse 5]
she could almost touch the color of the wheat
before it faded into the grey

[verse 6]
a man of oak stood next to her
a hand on her shoulder, she was beckoned into the night
[verse 7]
the lantern has almost run out of oil
and the snow keeps getting deeper
the bread is burning over the hearth
and the wind keeps on howling
the mother of a fatherless child cries herself to sleep
and the void keeps on growing
