Death Singing Lyrics

In the straw colored light In light rapidly changing On a life rapidly fading Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'?
With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light
He sings a black embrace And white opals swimming In a child's leather purse Have you seen death swimming? Have you seen death swimming?
With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light
Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light
He sings of youth enraged And the burning of Atlanta And these viral times And may ribbons streaming And the straw colored curls are turning
A mother's vain delight And woe to the sun And woe to the dawn And woe to the young Another hearse is drawn
Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light
