Darling black-hearted boy   All the color's gone out of my ribbon loom   As i've only got the worst to assume   Take your sheet metal sheers   Cut a slit up the side of my dark blue dress   For a last time lie your love confess      Get your gut   Some home made twine   String up silk your tiger bow   Don't paint your board   Moonlight white   Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again      See the smoke from your kiln   Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog   As i stand cold with my back broke by the bog   Find your cross cut saw   Come blunt and jagged and dry and try   Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high      I tipped my toe   On the bamboo strip   I took stone honey in exchange for my rags   Don't dare paint your board   Moonlight white   Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again      See the smoke from your kiln   Pine boughs burn the bricks dead hard in their fog   As i stand cold with my back broke by the bog   Find your cross cut saw   Come blunt and jagged and dry and try   Cut my tongue out to keep on your wall up high      I tipped my toe   On the bamboo strip   I took stone honey in exchange for my rags   Don't dare paint your board   Moonlight white   Go dangle your fishook out in the gutter again      Darling black-hearted boy   I went down to wash my robe in the river   I thought of you and started to shake and to shiver   Leaning there on the rocks   I see myself slip down and float   'Til the brackish warm current stops up my throat      You swore you swore you'd never leave   You swore you swore you'd never leave   You swore you swore you'd never leave
