Stillborn Music Lyrics

Midnight and Yoland has a long walk home

Midwifing a hard labor the baby was stillborn

Still the mother asks to hold the child that never cries

Rocks it gently softly keening a plaintive lullaby, hush

Yolanda walks along the river road

Humming softly, "Were you there when they crucified my Lord?"

The sky has never shined so bright, the night so dry and clear

Crickets and cicadas consolations in the air

Yolanda's husband wakes the children and dresses them for school

Your mother was up late last night, I've packed your lunch for you

So the house lies silent and they all will be home soon

By the time she rises in the early afternoon

Then once again Yolanda walks along the river road

Where the live oaks are dying, pines are crying, sits beneath a willow

Prying from that tender trunk a dry cicada shell

Crushes it in her fist as the sound begins to swell
