Darling black-hearted boy All the color's gone out of my ribbon loom As I've only got the worst to assume Take your sheet metal sheers Cut a slit up the side of my dark blue dress For a last time lie your love confess Get your gut Some home made twine String up silk your tiger bow Don't paint your board Moonlight white Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again See the smoke from your kiln Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog As I stand cold with my back broke by the bog Find your cross cut saw Come blunt and jagged and dry and try Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high I tipped my toe On the bamboo strip I took stone honey in exchange for my rags Don't dare paint your board Moonlight white Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again See the smoke from your kiln Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog As I stand cold with my back broke by the bog Find your cross cut saw Come blunt and jagged and dry and try Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high I tipped my toe On the bamboo strip I took stone honey in exchange for my rags Don't dare paint your board Moonlight white Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again Darling black-hearted boy I went down to wash my robe in the river I thought of you and started to shake and to shiver Leaning there on the rocks I see myself slip down and float 'Til the brackish warm current stops up my throat You swore you swore you'd never leave You swore you swore you'd never leave You swore you swore you'd never leave
