Ruby Throat

Ruby Throat - Out of A Black Cloud Came A Bird

Out of a black cloud came a bird
Insouciant lay down deferred
The taste of you, my fingers heard
Out of a black cloud came a bird
Out of a black cloud came a bird

She fingered my hips
With her blonde fingertips
A hangnail set upon a rough terrain
Out of a black cloud came a bird
She came, she came, she came
She came, she came

Tiny bird on skeleton heels
Scratches her name in the sky
Constellations splintering
Stars in my retinae

Out of a black cloud came a bird
Insouciant lay down deferred
The taste of you, my fingers heard
Out of a black cloud came a bird
Out of a black cloud came a bird
Out of a black cloud came a bird
Out of a black cloud came a bird
She came, she came, she came
She came
