Kate Lyrics by Caethua

The Long Afternoon of Earth

2005

The leaves stay green year round
But I can hardly tell
I know you call this home
But to me this city's hell
And if I could kiss your face
Shining in grey light
From salt beyond the mud
Your skin a wintery bell

The blooms are all long dead
But I can still smell their smell
As they rot beneath the rain
Into a deep red pulp
And if I could start again
I would find some land
Pretty and warm for you
And violently pretty for me

Ooh...
Oh Kate
Ooh...
Oh Kate
Ooh...
Oh Kate

I tremble in this chair
From cold dank air
Sleeping in my bones
Ripe without a care
And we will meet again
When all our men are gonе
And sun upon the rocks
Braiding each other's hair
