Black Tom

from The NARROWS by SPARE SPELLS

/

lyrics

Black tom was a wounded man

Before he had a deft hand

Never prone to violence

But angry since the world began



How do grown folks keep on going

When they’re not yet dead

But laying on the floor

From a life they know’s a hoax

Do they straighten their bones

Tidy their homes?



Or bask in the light of the coming unknown?



When the fog settles to haze

And the heartbeat’s calming

In a luminous moon phase

Horizons are dawning



This is what old Black Tom said

When asked about the curse

Of the young man’s death:

How could he die

When he was not alive?

That is far more of a complex hex



In a luminous moon phase

Horizons are dawning

Oh, Black Tom



Black tom was a wounded man

Before he had a deft hand

Never prone to violence

But angry since the world began
