Breath of the Arsonist

from To The Earth (Volume I, Autumnal) by James Keyes

/

lyrics

When the daystar set the night lights all shone bright
But when the blood moon rose she eclipsed them all
He heard a sea sick serenade out over the water
Never trust the one who sings the sirens song

You know it's always feast or famine
I don't know no fortune or fame
Just those two hands keep on spinning
Round and round again...

In the shadow of our hearts is where we hide
In the shade of love is where we wait
In the red of the evening you burn for your kiss
Set your heart on fire with the breath of the arsonist

Ive been drinking Muddy Water and Howling like a Wolf all night and day
In the Shining Penny Cemetery where the paupers lay
But when he bosun calls and I hear the ships bells ringing...
Shore leave's over boys but I'll be back some day
