Amelia's Last

words and music: Detweiler

recording: The Darkest Night of the Year



these are the (whose are the?)

these are the raw materials

you and me

these are the (whose are the?)

these are the angels' inferiors

who

someone breathed this breath in us

"oh amelia, we've so far to go

oh amelia"



these are the (whose are the?)

these are the ordinary clothes

you and me

around extraordinary flesh and pulsing madness deep and close

who

someone breathed this breath in us

"oh amelia maybe we're not that far

oh amelia is this who we really are

my amelia"
