cricket blue - eleanor كلمات الأغنية

oh eleanor, wed to a soldier
poorer and older on halloween day
and maybe you loved him, but you didn’t know him
and after the wedding he shipped out away

oh eleanor, living alone
watching the tv and cooking for one
sad like niobe ’cause everything’s stone;
your husband, your family, all busy and gone

oh eleanor, falling in love:
filling with sugar and getting dressed up
how can i blame you when it’s in my blood?
you filled up with life at the end of a gun

oh eleanor, house full of mice
nests in the fabric, boxed up with the lace
when your soldier came home, how your body had changed:
how you brimmed with desire, how you’d stretched in your shame

you bore him daughters over and over
they cried in their cribs as you lay in your bed
suddenly, marigolds, out in the garden —
their husbands bought rings so that they could be wed

oh eleanor, stunning and blind
telling the secret that we never die
dialing the radio, dialing the phone
hearing the tv and living alone

do you think of his letter he filled with forgiveness
from over the ocean, you threw in the flame?
fifty years later you gather your daughters
and tell them, and ask for forgiveness again

oh eleanor, terrible twin
our bodies warm tangles of sugar and skin
our reincarnations doomed to repeat
the womanly thirst that we all learned from eve
