Lyrics The Wigmaker's Widow - Julie Christmas

The Wigmaker's Widow

Stars twist
Light’s last confetti on her face
And raindrops kiss
The darkened end of Goodbye Lane
Footsteps in the distance fall
On the streets that echo love’s-lost faded screams
But you see
It means there’s more of you for me
To claw and grab, I grind with small white teeth
The good it does to see your face in tears
To wipe away with fluttering alarm
Or welcome back with innocent commands
The broadest shoulder falls to silent charms
The violent man a puppet without arms
Scowl now
Your lips turn upwards at the corners now and then
While violins with broken strings
Play lullabies
You crack and crumble like a paper doll and drift away
But you see
It means there’s more of you for me
To claw and grab, I grind with small white teeth
The good it does to see your face in tears
To wipe away with fluttering alarm
Or welcome back with innocent commands
The broadest shoulder falls to silent charms
The violent man a puppet without arms
So you see
It means there’s more of you for me
To claw and grab, I grind with small white teeth
The good it does to see your face in tears
To wipe away with fluttering alarm
Or welcome back with innocent
Commands
(raindrops kiss on)
The broadest shoulder falls to
(darkened footsteps)
Silent charms
(raindrops kiss)
The violent man a puppet without
(on darkened footsteps)
Arms
(raindrops kiss on darkened)
Oh you see
(footsteps, raindrops kiss on)
It means there’s more of you for me
(darkened footsteps, raindrops kiss on)
The broadest shoulder falls to silent charms
(darkened footsteps, raindrops kiss on)
The violent man a puppet without arms
(darkened footsteps)
