Black-hearted boy


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Fiery Furnaces were an American indie rock duo formed in Brooklyn in 2000. Composed of siblings Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the group released seven studio albums between 2003 and 2011, characterized by poetic lyrics and intricate melodies that blended folk, psychedelic, and pop influences. Their music was often described as a unique and immersive sonic experience, with complex arrangements and a strong theatrical element. Among their most representative tracks are "The Ballad of the Great American Novel", "Tropical Sunset" and "My Sister". After the release of the album "I'm Going Away", in 2011 The Fiery Furnaces disbanded, with Matthew and Eleanor pursuing solo careers.
