Once Told - havvk, HÄWK

A walk in the garden

We’ll plant you a pardon

To soldier your disgrace

The long ride in this race

Put your heart in this hand

To keep and to hold it

To listen when it shreds

The atlas to pieces

Once sold

Twice told

You sing from the rafters

But what’s running after

My sister will save me

The mother who made me

Once sold

Twice told

One word leaves its mark on me

Endlessly, carefully, on me

What’s new smothering it in shame?

Faces, they will fade

So what’s new thinking about the blame?

Hold it, hold it

Once sold

Twice told
