All Souls Lyrics – PJ Harvey

{Verse 1}

A carnival, a flesh farewell
Hiessens rising from the, from the dead
"Wyman-Elvis," calls our girl
And counts the ash to where, to where he bled

{Pre-Chorus}

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

{Chorus}

At the first, a crimson mist
At the second, sleeplessness
At the third, a broken tryst
At the fourth, a lonesomeness

{Verse 2}

Gawly the sweethearts leaves
The soldier's tears
The Riddle river grieves
Wyman-Elvis disappears

{Chorus}

Only in a scrid of flesh
Hooked upon the hart's-tongue fern
Only by her own gooseflesh
Knows she somewhen he'll return
