lyrics

Oh Persephone (Demos Papadimas)

Oh, Persephone
Still I want you only
Though our rivers have run dry
You got a way of movin’
Listenin’ to Charlie Louvin
But you’re gonna pass me by

Oh, Persephone
They wrecked you, called you homely
But I always was so true
He took you from your mama
To that land down yonder
While I waited here for you

Night after night
By firelight
With vacant words so blue
Left in destitution
Inside my mind’s confusion
Waiting for spring to come with you......

Oh, Persephone
God Damn you still own me
Though we’re many years beyond
Beyond that callow vision
And with a weary wisdom
Of all the mysteries God has spawned
