There was the loneliness of prayer in that sad gaze
_____
As if her eyes were the doors to tears
_____
Sign of the cross that persists
_____
Fingers against the evil eye
_____
And the shells the old woman cast over an old cloak
_____
A great love lurks but keeps secret
_____
Your heart's empty on the edge of fear
_____
See how the shells fell facing north
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
There was intense despair in her voice
_____
The room smelled of incense, and a few other powders
_____
The old woman waved the handkerchief
_____
She folded it, tied two knots in it
_____
And her holy father spoke through her voice
_____
A great love lurks but keeps secret
_____
Your heart's empty
_____
See how the shells fell facing north
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
A great love lurks but keeps secret
_____
See how the shells fell facing north
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
_____
I'm gonna stir fate
