Seven times I went down

I will be rocks, I will be water.

I will leave this to my daughter:

lift your head up in the wind.

When you feel yourself grow colder

wrap the night around your shoulders

even when I cannot see your face anymore.

The devil he wore such a fine, fine shirt

and it stayed so clean while he dragged me through the dirt.

Now, honey, don't trust anyone who looks you in the eye

the midnight owl it does not know you.
