She Was
She was
When she was home
she was a swan
when she was out she was a tiger
and a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone
when she was lost
she was a toad
the day I found her on the road
I gave her water and a rose
and as she stretched
the sun rose
go go
go away
when she was young
she was a cow
and all day long
she milked the stars
she taught me
women to survive
must be unfaithful to their child
of all the wonders of the world
Letras de cancionesshe was a lady with a bird
she must have had so many lives
was it the first?
was it the last?
go go
go away
when she was ill
she was a whale
she was so patient she would wait
until I sang her by the lane
the sweetest tunes to ease her pain
when she was old
she was an owl
I saw her swaying in the sky
and when she died inside my arms
I realised she was a cat
Go
Go
go away
sometimes I wonder
if my child
will have her eyes
to see through me
and when I die
and I am born again
what will I be
a cat?
a stone?
a tree?
