I'll walk a mile in my mother's shoes
Find myself
lost on a beach,
stuck in my mother's shoes
Lost in the eyes, the love, the loins of a man
Me and my momma both have such generous hands
An I'll lie with you where my mother lay
on a bed of kelp and clay
So many years ago
And you and me, here we are
today
And I know the end to the story she told:
She died in my arms
She died in my arms
She died in my arms
With heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet and generous hands
With heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet, generous hands
With heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet
My momma went into all the world and took what she needed
Momma returned triumphantly
and gave in to the weight of her man
on a bed of sand
And then she took out the trash
She took out the trash
She took out the trash
She would have died in his arms
She would have died in his arms
She would have died in his arms
and I wanna die in your arms
I wanna die in your arms
I wanna die
As I lie with you where my mother lay
I give in to your weight,
give myself away
and sink into the muddy clay
With heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet,
I take out your trash
I take out your trash
With heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet, generous hands
Heavy thougts, beating heart, guilty feet, generous hands
I wanna die in your arms
I wanna, wanna die
I wanna dance on the floor with guilty feet and generous hands
I wanna dance till i die
I wanna dance on the floor in the round
I wanna dance
I wanna dance in your arms
I wanna die in your arms
With heavy thougts, guilty feet, generous hands and a beating heart
I wanna die with a beating heart
I could have died
I could have died

Imbued with the kind of subtlety which implies the epic without succumbing to indulgent sprawl; music of obvious extreme technical mastery that still feels raw and immediate and homespun. I've not fallen so instantly in love with a record of guitar music of any stripe for years. Just pure magic. Jack Francis
