Six Pairs of Feet and One Pair of Legs - Julie Christmas

Speak softly

There’s an echo in here

That’s louder than the footsteps on the stairs

That groans and heaves and moans

Shadow puppets play

On skirts of failing grace

The whispers that she makes

From fields with faces so (hey)

Your shadow puppets play

On skirts of failing grace

Those stars across your face

The angels watch and wait

And now, her silence keep perfect time

With wings and heartbeat (she tells/takes)

She lies so right

She’s hardly there

She lies, she lies, so right

She’s hardly there
