Bay of Skulls
Mark Kozelek
Had i known
Had i been warned
The hawks will hover
Buzzards swarm
The rattlers strike
And scorpions sting
Their tiny drops could
Stay a king
You have told so many lies
Said them right into my eyes
Used your power to hurt them
Crashed into your open sun
The bay of skulls have found you
The bay of skulls have found you
The moon has
Settled for the night
The days pass faster
Than i'd like
For i have traveled
Many miles
Have been met with
Many smiles
And every april gray winged doves
Build their nests and guard their young
From my garden window view
Hear their early morning coo
