Beggar's Prayer Lyrics - Me And Armini - Emiliana Torrini

Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands 

Mama say eventually this hurting will end 

But the shock waves on my bones will linger 

Like the ghost of you here in my bed 

When I was lost you thought me a beautiful find 

Sometimes I think of you sleeping, so sleep for a while 

I find myself asking who'd do this to love 

And the white shouldered mountains they pointed above 

Lord you just dropped me here by the side of this road 

Out here's too cold and I don't want to walk it alone 

I've got a bottle of your blood inside me 

And an old beggar's prayer on the tip of my tongue 

Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands 

Mama say eventually this hurting will end
