Silica

Kristin Hersh

Let the ache out

Spread it around

You want to fly him in

You want him



Play a grownup

'Til you grow up

If you could you would



I swallowed some bad voodoo

Caught it in the gut

Wish you were here

Wish I was not



You hear someone wanting you

How can I fume

Then be bursting with kindness?



A gracious cocoon in the shadows

We're in good company

Us lefty Lucy's



Play a grownup

'Til you grow up

If you could you would



This is a touch prayer

Praying for you

Wish you were here

Wish I was too



Come see how okay we are

Come see how okay we can be



Picture her Silica

Lifting her shirt to the sun



Cherry neck sea



Easy now
