And The Ass Saw The Angel

Oh my darling don’t whimper
Please be not afraid
Toil with sickle and hammer
Toward the dawning day
Stay quiet
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Stay quiet
Never say a word
Back bent, buckle your belt babe
Stalk the rustling cane
Angel sits on your shoulder
Asking you her name
Stay quiet
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Stay quiet
Let actions tell your tale
Big black boxes burn brightly
Sick smoke stings your eyes
Throw your love and your memory
Into the towering fire
Stay quiet
Let it dance in your eyes
Stay quiet
Slowly slip away
Stay quiet
Let it dance in your eyes
Not a word
Never say a word
