Shells Lyrics - Patty Griffin

The hole in her chest is for the little lost lamb 

That was on his quest; nobody gives a damn 

In silvery days of silence they go 

Now they've lost their ways,the little lambs in the snow 

These are not shells of the sea 

These are the shells of the sky 

They took my baby away from me 

And no one has ever told me why 

They chewed him and spit him 

He never knew what hit him 

No little kisses goodbye 

Shells, shells, shells

I won't stand to ask for God's mercy 

I can't stand anything anymore 

They were only making angels 

In the snow in the middle of a war 

The blood of these lambs speaks of the darkness 

And the blood of these lambs speaks of the rage 

Yes the blood of these lambs is rolling to the sea 

It's writing your history on every single page 

Shells, shells, shells 

Tear at a table missing a child 

Must have gone past, the river is mild 

I go to the sea; I follow the tide 

I hold seashells to me and I hear the sky 

These are not shells of the sea 

These are the shells of the sky 

They took my baby away from me 

And no one has ever told me why 

They chewed him and spit him 

He never knew what hit him 

No little kisses goodbye 

Shells, shells, shells
