Letras The Breadmaker's Daughter - Great Cold Emptiness

The Breadmaker's Daughter

A dark wind blows
A woman gathers her clothes before the coming storm
Her curtains dance
She shouts her husband’s name
To a plaguelike sky
Thunder rolls on by
Her daughter rests by the shoreline
A sun waits behind an iron armada
His gentle kiss blows away from her
When she sleeps, her mother curses the northern winds
A pasture, a well and the first harvest of the year
To dream is to die alone
To stay is to die inside
She could almost touch the color of the wheat
Before it faded into the grey
A man of oak stood next to her
A hand on her shoulder, she was beckoned into the night
