Mrs. Juliette Low
Echoes of Longing: Mrs. Juliette's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
If the sound that gets made with each going away
If the sound that accompanies departure...
Were to lean on my knuckles to come
...relied on my knuckles to return.
Then all the spinning about making moths in my mouth
All the motion creating moths in my mouth...
Like a hymn from the heavens would hum
...would produce a heavenly hymn.
Babies sweet on the floor ever calling for more
Babies on the floor craving more...
Ever tasting their flight on their tongues
...experiencing the taste of flight.
See them roll on the ground with their bellies so round
They roll on the ground with round bellies...
Know they're bound to keep rolling along
...destined to keep rolling along.
And Mrs. Juliette low sings so pretty and slow
Mrs. Juliette Low sings beautifully and slowly...
Singing 'boy ain't you going so wrong?
...asking, 'Are you going astray, boy?'
If your voice is to pray and your legs is to stay
If your voice is for prayer and legs to stay...
Then where you been going so long?'
...questioning your prolonged absence.
Yet still the light likes to fade at the end of each day
Nevertheless, light tends to fade at day's end...
And it shines like a curtain of glass
...shining like a glass curtain.
Onto some state of grace where her movements takes place
In a state of grace, her movements unfold...
Ain't we always so going so fast
...as we perpetually rush forward.
In the chill of some gray afternoon
In a gray afternoon's chill...
In the still fading light of my room
In the fading light of my room...
I'll be aching to say
I'll yearn to say...
Lover don't go away
Lover, don't go away.
And we will not go away
We will not go away.
