karine polwart - strange news lyrics

[verse 1]
strange news is at this table
strange news and stranger still
in boots and a bobble hat
i hap you up from the morning chill
one brother makes another call
one brother lets it ring
and at the head of the path you laugh
as a lone blackbird begins to sing

[chorus]
and a mother does just what she must
and a father comes undone
in the not yet snow we wave and shout “h+llo”
to a morning sun

[verse 2]
strange news is at this table
strange news and stranger still
there are plastic strings of gold
and ice+cold beer on the windowsill
somewhere a boy is asking “when?”
somewhere a woman “why?”
and in the field out back we wait for the crack of wings
in a winter sky
[chorus]
and a mother does just what she must
and a father comes undone
in the not yet snow we wave and shout “h+llo”
to a morning sun

[bridge]
there’s a blood red mark upon my door
there’s a blood red mark upon my door
(you passed us over, passed us over)
there’s a blood red mark upon my door
(you passed us over, passed us over)
there’s a blood red mark upon my door
(you passed us over, passed us over)

[verse 3]
strange news is at this table
strange news and stranger still
there’s glitter on the dirt road
and a light slung low on soutra hill
one brother makes another call
one brother lets it ring
and at the head of the path you laugh
as a lone blackbird begins to sing

[chorus]
and a mother does just what she must
and a father comes undone
in the not yet snow we wave and shout “h+llo”
and a mother does just what she must
and a father comes undone
in the not yet snow we wave and shout “h+llo”
to a morning sun
