Painted Girl
Sally Timms * Track #7 On To the Land of Milk & Honey
Painted Girl Lyrics
In the dream the girl was painted
Painted with every tattoo
And she knew giants
And pickpockets with paper hats
She played violins with swords
She shook snakes at zombie moons
And she danced on a wall of shells
Herr eyes were the tails of meteors
And her steps were the sound and touch
Of pianos and storm chimes
And waking up
Rains her awake
Like a dying humming bird
She played violins
