letra de recollection (live) - bobbie gentry

[verse 1]
she l!cks her finger and dampens her eye
to make people think she is cryin’
for all around her are tear-sorrowed faces
but she is too young to know dyin’
outside the window tree branches sway down
long, glassy fingers sweep snow-covered ground
while inside a woman is moanin’ softly
for loss of a son

[verse 2]
she sees black-ribboned white roses and hears
a man with bowed head heavily sighin’
then gravely she turns her gaze back to the box
where a broken young body is lyin’
outsidе the crystal icicles shine bright
castin’ a prism, rеflectin’ the light
that sends rainbows dancin’ across the brow
of a pastor in prayer
[verse 3]
she touches her face to see if the mouth tears
she put on with her finger are dryin’
then her young attention is drawn back outside
where she watches a small brown bird flyin’
comin’ to land on the icy fence rail
with such a momentum it skids on its tail
and she laughs so loud and then quickly
claps her small hand to her mouth
