Omen by Rose Polenzani Lyrics

Follow the road
It turns like leaves
My wife, shiny lady
My child asleep
Slow through the prairie
Gentle on the pedal
Her voice drops a story
Points up through the trees

All the stars were falling
She said it was a godsend
I promised her that I
Would take her where the stars land

Mare in the pasture
Who my love loved
Take my lonesome body in
I seen her riding
Her mouth half open
Child, sleep longer
You're still with your mother
All the cars parked on the lawn
She said it was an omen
I laughed at the time
But whose heart was open?

Who was the young man
Who stood by his car
Beckoned with his finger
All four doors ajar?
Who was the woman
Climbed into the shotgun
My kisses upon her
Lit up like the sun?

How my heart was molting
Inside my body

I'll collect the feathers
To make wings for our baby

Moon rising under
The moans of the mare
My ass clenched against her
My child upstairs
I love the sound of
The lowing farmland
Choked in the silence
Of my lovers absence
All the cars parked on the lawn
She said it was an omen
I laughed at the time
But whose heart was open?
