palmer st. clair - helen of troy lyrics

Loading...

sweet serene
and ever-changing her mind when uninspired
honeybee
a wildflower child with a belly full of fire

she is well equipped for the changing of tides

willow winds
and southern sunshine
she’s a hard-headed, tangle-haired girl
grandma’s rings
and her ladylike poise but a confidence to rule the world

well, who’s to say
“that’s not what a woman should be”

birds and the bees, well
they don’t see the way the people see
so she found a home in
in the trees and in the honeycombs

keep your precious heart hate free
[?] your womanhood and fertility
understand your power, your purpose
and mother your own joy

goodbye, helen of troy

daddy’s temper
she’s madder than sin before you can spit sorry out your mouth
but lost at sea
‘fore light met the night and her lips tasted the poisons that he willingly drank

well, ain’t it strange
how a man tamed a lion that day

you fueled her mind
you spoke of the earth
felt the soil creeping in ‘tween his toes

he let her speak
they touched like a feather when her tongue took a turn for the worst

well, isn’t that just as a strong love should do
two simple souls
made to balance and complement
yes, black and white
yes, left and right
yes, everything the world said to not

when has that changed what she thought?
so, goodbye, helen of troy

helen of troy

helen of troy

helen of troy

goodbye, helen of troy
