The beautiful poetess finds a sad death in cold waters.

lyrics

LA CHEVELURE


A BODY IS FOUND
AT NIGHT AT THE PIER
NIGHT FULL OF SOUND
BUT NO ONE IS HERE

EXCEPT FOR THIS GIRL
COLD AND BLUE LIPS
HER HAIR IN A CURL
THE CURVES OF HER HIPS

NOW DRENCHED IN A SWIRL
IN FEAR WAS SHE RUNNING
IN BLIND TORTURE - SHE RAN
AND NO ONE COULD SAVE HER

FOR NOTHING SHE RAN
UNTIL HER BREATH STOPPED
AND HER EYES LEFT HER BLIND
FOR QUICKLY SHE DROPPED

COLD WATER TO FIND
HER SWEET BONES ALL BROKE
LIKE TO WATER A KEEL
NO ONE FROM IT WOKE

A LIGHT! ABLE TO STEAL
A GLIMPSE OF RED HAIR
WILD CURL OF RUBY IT WAS
TOUCHING WOOD WITHOUT CARE

BEADED IN MOSS
SHE SUNK LIKE A SONG
OF MERMAIDS’ TALES
IN WATER SO MIGHTY,

IT’S HOME TO WHITE WHALES
THE SEA STOLE HER BEAUTY
TO KEEP AT A SHORE

AND NO ONE WILL TOUCH
THESE HIPS ANYMORE
