Prefacing “The Donor” when she played it live for the BBC in 1972, Judee Sill told the audience “Most of my songs, I always try to write them so they’ll make people feel better, or make them feel that their warm, human spirit is affirmed… but I thought one day when I was depressed, you know when you...
The Donor Lyrics
[Intro (Round)]
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na (Kyrie)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie eleison)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie eleison)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie eleison)
Na na na na na na (Kyrie eleison)
[Verse 1]
I'll chase 'em to the bottom, 'til I've finally caught 'em
Dreams fall deep
Where voices come a-chimin', moanin' and a-rhymin'
Warning me, their words are ringin' and a-whinin', hear 'em weep
[Pre-Chorus]
Songs from so deep
While I'm sleepin', seep in
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin', "Leave us not forsaken"
[Chorus]
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
Eleison, eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
[Bridge]
So sad and so true
That even shadows come and hum the requiem
[Verse 2]
O waters of the moon, your vapors swirls and swoon
Your wake is wide, your wake is wide
And sorrow's like an arrow, shootin' straight and narrow
Aimin' true, its sting goes reachin' to the marrow, silence cried
[Pre-Chorus]
Songs from so deep
While I'm sleepin', seep in
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin', "Leave us not forsaken"
[Chorus]
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, eleison
Eleison, eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
[Bridge]
So sad and so true
That even shadows come and hum the requiem
[Outro]
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
