Bead/9:15 - Anna Domino

A haze of smoke rises in a leaden sky

It was dawn when I awoke

Picked up my things and said goodbye

A whistle blows, you look up and I am gone

Where I’m bound I do not know

The morning came for leaving

I will travel in shifting sands

Write my name in water

Subdue the tongue

Carve an image in passing clouds

Watch it drift and scatter

And as the evening closes in

At nine fifteen

We pulled up beside the quay

Into some town I’ve never seen

I am a stranger here and

I will travel in shifting sands

Write my name in water

Subdue the tongue

(Carve an image in passing clouds

Watch it drift and scatter

I will travel in shifting sands

Write my name in water

Subdue the tongue

Subdue the tongue
