lyrics

Came to Take Her – The Fea Street Hustle

She was born in the middle of the night
as the full moon winter threw a dead light
on her dark eyes and her shimmering curls
the fire fading and the cloths unfurled
They came to take her home
came to take her little body home

She was born in the middle of the night
with a dark cloud growing on the skyline
through black eyes and the shivering cold
she saw their little bodies down far below
They came to take her home
came to take her broken body home

She would float through the room and we’d all fall quiet
Fall to whispering as soon as she’d passed on by
waiting for morning time

She was born in the middle of the night
with a cold wind blowing down the valley and a fading light

And she floats through the room as we all fall quiet
Fall to whispering as soon as she’s passed on by
waiting for morning time
