"Ursa Minor" lyrics - SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE

SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE
"Ursa Minor"

To leave any town, anytime
A skill acquired from being alone
Only fixed to the stars as they twirl
Round the tail of a bear-like stone
Round the tail of a bear-like stone

We took a train last week
But the train don't run no more
So we watched the shadows on the hill
Thought about tomorrow and locked the door
Thought about tomorrow and locked the door

It didn't take too much to keep that sun away
To make it dark so fast
Me and my baby got about a month left of food
After that I don't know how we'll last
I don't know how we'll last

And love can't keep death at bay
Good people dying everywhere
When shadow's your doctor the price you pay
Ask if God is even there
Ask if God is even there

This hospital's no place to say goodbye
I'm taking her to the shore
At the edge of the tide I kiss your eye
You know that I've never loved anyone more
Never loved anyone more
Never loved anyone more
Never loved anyone more
Never loved anyone more
Never loved anyone more
