Lyrics

Bilingual
Three boys lost in the flood
Three families torn apart
Three stars over the wood
Three birds beneath the stars
ย
One house turned to dust
Stone and bone and chalk and rust
One hearth dark as night
One aflame with raging light
ย
She shot down the birds
Tied their feathers into her curls
Sewed their skins into a purse
To carry their hearts and vocal chords
ย
She walked into the lake
Turned into a water snake
Burrowed beneath the sand and silt
Disappeared and lies there still
ย
She climbed onto the hill
Spied her prey and made her kill
Summoned a storm, a joke, a thrill
Sent them to your windowsill
ย
Three boys lost in the flood
Three families torn apart
Three stars over the wood
Three birds beneath the stars
