The Coin Collectors - Black Marble Eye

The air is sticky and hot
It smells like rain today
Two crows perched on the barbed wire
Ain't got nothing to say
For out in the middle of the paddock
Neath a willow gnarled and bent
Is a lamb washed in sickness
The crows wait on the fence

Black marble eye
Mirror in the sky
The world from within
His black marble eye

The soil will soak up the day
And draw the light out of the sky
The lamb will take in the stars
And wonder, "Is this what it feels like to die?"
Mosquitos wing about with wet tongues
Now the crows are perched on a branch
They bear down, evil in their noise
The lamb tries to move but she can't

Black marble eye
Mirror in the sky
The world from within
His black marble eye
