A Wonderful Seed - Hope Sandoval, The Warm Inventions

Well the waves took Miss Sylvia too lovely

And gave her the life that no one could save

The sweet blessing to and from

In the middle of the ocean’s flow

Well she reached a bounty a wonderful seed

Someone’s little things that she need

Stoned closed but always abound

The devil that she was she made herself found

Her face so sweet a sweetness of her

Always to think of someone else above her

That some tide the devil made his way

But then the bash of the seed came

But tinkers and tailors and soldiers unknown

Nobody could keep this lady their own

But sweet her gleam bright as the day

She never let me wander too far away
