Persephone

Persephone, moving underground.
Sweet Persephone, down, down down.
Past the clever roots, down beyond the turning worms.
going down below, to where the dead hold sway.
Sweet Persephone, hey, hey, hey

As I walk these cold, grey streets,
I see jewels, scattered at my feet
Pomegranate seeds glint ruby red.
Did someone leave you an offering?
Or did you cast them up
from down below?
To tell your Mother, that you said hello
to tell your Mother everything was OK.
Sweet Persephone hey, hey, hey

I’ll pass the word.
I’ll pass the word.

I’ll tell the rain
and I’ll ask the grass to grow
I’ll tell the wind to blow
to let the birds in the trees all know
You’re coming back.
You’re coming back.

Persephone, moving underground.
Sweet Persephone, down, down down.
Past the clever roots, beyond the turning worms.
going down below, to where the dead hold sway.
Sweet Persephone, hey, hey, hey
I’ll pass the word...You’re coming back.
