SWAMP LULLABY
Composer/Publisher: Melanie Hankewich

Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child.
Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child.

Out of her muddy worries comes the story she is laying.
Out of her muddy worries comes the story she is laying.

Playing out her game for fate forsaken strangers
making strong backs break like brittle kindling
angel breath of swamp bred babies
clouds the minds of idle saviors
gray moon patient for the high tide
savours all our answerless midnight dances
that sweet new love brings
and laying down with weary travellers
only serves the sins that listless love brings.

Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child.
Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child.
