Lyrics for The Jeweller by This Mortal Coil:
| | | Artist: | This Mortal Coil |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Jeweller | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | The jeweler
Has a shop
On the corner of the boulevard
In the night,
In small
spectacles,
He polishes old coins
He uses spit and cloth and ashes
He makes them shine
with ashes
He knows the use of ashes
He worships God with ashes
The coins are
often very old
By the time they reach the jeweler
With his hands and ashes
He will try
the best he can
He knows that he can only shine them
Cannot repair the scratches
He
knows that even new coins have scars
So he just smiles
He knows the use of ashes
He
worships God with ashes
In the darkest of the night
Both his hands will blister
badly
They will often open painfully
And the blood flows from his hands
He works to take
from black coin faces
The thumbprints from so many ages
He wishes he could cure the
scars
When he forgets he sometimes cries
He knows the use of ashes
He worships God
with ashes | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
