lyrics

She was found at the end of Illinois ave
Left in a bank at high tide
Cold at midday, even for December
When a beach goer saw where she lie

Hair of jet black
Naked as the day she was born
Down the beach in a hollowed out log
They found the clothes she had worn

Skin as grey as the water
Snow as white as the sand
And the beach grass that grows in the winter was all
Crumpled up in her hand
Crumpled up in her hand

Crowd gathers round
Onlookers describe for the world
How laid out for all at the foot of the dune
Was the breathless and beautiful girl

But crowds will go home
Camera crews pack up and leave
Carried away to the sound of the tune
Of sirens so far down the street

Traffic lights on the windshield
Rain and the colors all swirl
And the beach grass that grows in the winter was all
Tangled up in her curls
Tangled up in her curls

Step by step
Just hold on and soon you’ll be free
Breath by breath
She’ll be reclaimed by the sea

She had a name
She had a face we don’t know
Mother daughter lover and ghost
Secrets now deep in the snow

Traffic lights on the windshield
Rain and the colors all swirled
And the beach grass that grows in the winter was all
Tangled up in her curls
Tangled up in her curls
Tangled up in her curls

We will bury you
Bury you
We will bury you
Bury you
We will bury you
Bury you
We will bury you
Bury you
