Skeleton Songtext
von Lila Downs

The land is the mother of a tender crop
The corn will grow with the shining sun
I′ve seen a believer, I've seen Moses wear red
In my answer to their prayers, I pray to the dead

I came in November to the date in my name
I followed a young man down the river of pain
I drank form his tears, quenched the thirst in my bones
Then I played his heartbeat ′til he gave me his soul

Gave me his soul


Listen to the woman
At the bottom of the sea
Floating in her hair
Is a reflection of me

I came in November to the date in my name
I followed a young man down the river of pain
I drank from his tears, quenched the thirst in my bones
Then I played his heartbeat 'til he gave me his soul
I played his heartbeat 'til he gave me his soul
Then I played his heartbeat ′til he gave me his soul
