three hits

indigo girls

three hits to the heart son

and it's poetry in motion

one could send you down the river

three's a strange way to be delivered

would you trade your words for freedom?

that's a barter for a blind man

three hits to the heart son

and it's poetry in motion

are you leveed like a treasure?

only words can help me find you

and this world's a fickle measure

i will painfully remind you

from a wise man to your red hand

you lay covered in our best sins

three hits to the heart son

and it's poetry in motion

well i dream you constant stranger

with your best bloods and your anger

you say

mother do you claim me?"
