Black-Hearted Boy

Darling black-hearted boy
 All the color's gone out of my ribbon loom
 As i've only got the worst to assume
 Take your sheet metal sheers
 Cut a slit up the side of my dark blue dress
 For a last time lie your love confess
 Get your gut
 Some home made twine
 String up silk your tiger bow
 Don't paint your board
 Moonlight white
 Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again
 See the smoke from your kiln
 Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog
 As i stand cold with my back broke by the bog
 Find your cross cut saw
 Come blunt and jagged and dry and try
 Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high
 I tipped my toe
 On the bamboo strip
 I took stone honey in exchange for my rags
 Don't dare paint your board
 Moonlight white
 Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again
 See the smoke from your kiln
 Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog
 As i stand cold with my back broke by the bog
 Find your cross cut saw
 Come blunt and jagged and dry and try
 Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high
 I tipped my toe
 On the bamboo strip
 I took stone honey in exchange for my rags
 Don't dare paint your board
 Moonlight white
 Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again
 Darling black-hearted boy
 I went down to wash my robe in the river
 I thought of you and started to shake and to shiver
 Leaning there on the rocks
 I see myself slip down and float
 'Til the brackish warm current stops up my throat
 You swore you swore you'd never leave
 You swore you swore you'd never leave
 You swore you swore you'd never leave
