Pilgrim

from Stones and Fire by Art Block

/

lyrics

The pilgrim asks where’s your father now
He’s in bed, he’s long since been dead
My mother fell from the angels in the cloud
To her rest in the soil of the West
She drew a seam from a Singer machine
A needle drilled into a patchwork quilt

My father had said it wasn’t good enough so she coughed up jewels in her blood
A painted shell, a piece of a veil
I stand alone watching upset souls
By the sea, shimmering lovingly

In the dusk my heart becomes a rusk
Ignite my soul, a diamond from a piece of coal
A subtle dream, an intoxicating scheme
We rise above all the heavenly the little dome
We’ll fly forever home
I was born in an East London sky
To a chance buried deep inside
A painted shell, a piece of a veil
I stand alone watching upset souls
By the sea, shimmering lovingly
In the dusk my heart becomes a rusk
