Headless Clay Woman Lyrics - And Also The Trees

Under amillion scattered stars 

>From rippled earth that's cracked and sleeping 

Under the frozen static stars 

The headless clay woman's 

Shimmering body stands 

And the frost that locks her nakedness 

Melts away 

Through air that's crystal black ink shadows 

As sharp as the thickest thorn and the ice 

She moves painless, slow and flowing 

Across the wild and trembling path 

And the headless clay woman's 

Motionless beauty shines 

Restless stars reflect in wet red streams 

Across her back 

Her bare feet step over the split stones 

Past the water pump and the pail 

Round and round the paint flaking empty house 

And past the glass warped window 

And the headless clay woman 

She stands half up and half down the stairs 

She cannot see the bottom 

And she cannot see the top 

A million stars are shining 

A million stars... 

As she lies back down 

In the frozen warped world
