4th Day Prayer Lyrics
I was the Queen of Westmount Park
It was all mine after dark
Old willow tree, it was my throne
'Til I, 'til I went home
Father used me like a wife
Mother turned the blindest eye
Stole my body, spirit, pride
He did, he did each night
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we're standing in the sun
"These are the best years of your life"
If I'd believed it, I'd have died
Something told me that they lied
Oh I, oh I survived
Left home, I was just a child
Slept in the graveyard, end of the Mile
When the sun came up and found my skin
I rose, I rose again
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we're standing in the sun
Slip streams and fever dreams
Do you see what I can't see?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I want to understand
From the coast of Africa
To the hills of Grenada
To the cold of Montreal
That whip, that whip still falls
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we're standing in the sun
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day-
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day-

Nightflyer Lyrics
Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you
I'm the melody and the space between
Every note the swallow sings
I'm fourteen vultures circling
I'm that crawling, dying thing
I'm the smoke up above the trees, good Lord
The fire and the branch that's burning, Lord
Maybe you were sleeping, Lord
But Mary she's not weeping no more, no
Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you
I'm the sick light of a hurricane's eye
I'm a violent lullaby
I'm six fireflies, one streetlight
I'm a suffocating summer night, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
I'm each of his steps on the stairway
I'm his shadow in the door frame
I'm the tap tap of a lunar moth
I'm the stale beer on his breath mm-hmm, mm-hmm
His soul is trapped in that room
But I crawled back in my mother's womb
Came back out with my gold and my greens
Now I see everything
Now I feel everything good Lord
What the hell could they bring to stop me Lord?
Nothing from the earth, nothing from the sea
Not a God almighty thing
Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you
I'm the wounded bird, I'm the screaming hawk
I'm the one who can't be counted out
I'm the dove thrown into battle
I can roll and shake and rattle mm-hmm, hmm
I'm the moon's dark side, I'm the solar flare
The child of the earth, the child of the air
I am the mother of the evening star
I am the love that conquers all
Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you
Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you, you, you, you, you
