Latin Quarter - Cora lyrics
Your rating:
She's felt It blow for sixty years and more. Cora and the snow-wind Like the row-lock and the oar Cutting through these icy waters To find shelter and perfectlon and the shore. Cora's lived a kind of llfe From downstairs maid to miner's wife Making sure she shined a floor In Surrey homes before the war She feels that snow-wind blowing. She's not sure where we're going, anymore. For years past 1926 They dug the hill-sides out with picks While still behind the iron gate Those winding-wheels she'd come to hate She feels thot snow-wind blowing. She thinks we mlghty be getting there too late. It's a snow-wind It blows so hard it cuts her to the bone. Cora and the snow-wind A women's life is not her own As she dives in icy waters To find passion and survival, all alone. Coro and the sisterhood Less sisters now in Prims. And it doesn't sound the same Without the voices for the hymns
