OFFERING
My grief is seeping like sap
watch as my heart it falls in my lap
like some ugly offering
though it don’t make sense an ounce to me
What to make of this unearthly fraud?
but i accept as i bow to the gods
don’t make sense an ounce to me
but i’ll take this ugly offering
It’s beating sweet and low
oh how the winds they blow
oh god i miss him so
so blow him
blow him him
blow him back to me
Blow him
blow him again to me
blowin’
You see it’s not of my choosing
fate demands that i obey
divine, given signs that
insist that you might slip away
gods laugh in my face
(to) think that they might hear me pray
for you to stay
you to stay
Want to know why did he die?
askin i raise my heart to the sky
take my ugly, offering though
though it don’t make sense
though it don’t make sense an ounce to me
You see it’s not of my choosing
fate demands that i obey
divine, given signs that
insist that you might slip away
gods laugh in my face
(to) think that they might hear me pray
for you to stay
you to stay
Winds of a western sea
blowin his goodbye to me
these winds of a western sea
blowin, they’re blowin
oh winds won’t you
oh wont hear my
hear my plea
please dont ya let me be
blow him
please blow him
blow him back to me
You see it’s not of my choosing
fate demands that i obey
divine, given signs that
insist that you might slip away
gods laugh in my face
(to) think that they might hear me pray
for you to stay
you to stay
Winds of a western sea
blow him
blow him back to me
take my ugly offering
they’re blow-in
blow
