Lyrics: When the day, when the day falls to the light, at the end of the end of my time, I fall, to the dark, take the bones off my back. And I chant, to the black, you were my lady divine. Cause my children, are in hiding, mortor and pestal they grind. Those songs whistled through white teeth, do scuff the day. With songs, for children, to sing. Those songs whistled through white teeth, do scuff the day. With songs, for children, to sing. When the chairs are tucked into the fading song, and the silver of their pours has grown long, they call, to the dark, take the bones off my back. And they chant, to the black, you were my lady divine. And they bloat/blow(?), like a bitter wine, in their bellies. Cause the bones, have been removed, from their hunched over backs. And their children, are all grown now, water and pestle they grind. Those songs whistled through white teeth, still scuff the day. With songs, for children, to sing Those songs whistled through white teeth, still scuff the day Those songs, for children, to sing. Those songs, for children, to sing.
Excuse me Rough Trade Businessmen/women.....Uh do have any idea where I can purchase this Dumbo west Session???? DVD....or Cd or BETTER YET BOTH.... Truly DIVINE
Absolutely stunning! Jonny Giger brought me here. How have I not known this music for 14 or more years?
me too ma broda, mee too
The fact that it's her dad playing the second guitar just makes this better tenfold. Goes perfectly with this song.
One of the most pure female.voices in music....should be way.more popular.
she sings so beautifully it brings tears to my eyes!
This song still brings tears to my eyes the same way it did 15 years ago when I first heard it.
mine too...
" and I chant to the black, you were my lady divine "
All these years and this should be so much more cherished. One of my top favourites.
I got here after Late Night Tales. Stunningly beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

That's how you perform live. Amazing guitars but even better vocals!

Alguém no Brasil 🇧🇷🙋🏻♂️? ❤️🙂
14 years ago... yet. Oh wow
Wow, wow, and wow again, what a voice this woman has!!!
Oh my goodness... just discovered Alela and this song on the radio... where have you been all my life???
So gorgeous. Reminds me of Nick Drake's "Pink Moon".
Another amazing performance. Live even better than on LP. That is how talent stands out from the rest.
Thanks a lot for showing this music video.
Seriously? I can't understand how the few people disliked this!!!?¿ she is magic! Love her
Kirsten Silva I was thinking the same thing. like, how?! how could anyone dislike this?!
enidenvy one said once that the dislikes on beautiful songs were people looking for something else... Wrong search and instant dislike
beyond perfect.
Like... how do i hear brilliance
everytime I listen this I almost burst out in tears :D
so great... thank you
That's one breathtaking talent
ugh my heart swells and my mind relaxes
Yes! I thought of Nick Drake, also the first time I listened to her!
If Aliens heard this, they'd come in peace.
They would view this the way we view a spider making its web

-- Is this kind of music folk, country or a mix of both ?
Carlos España It's folk music

+Weird Town Thanks. It´s a nice song.
Is this song about death?
Pavel Sedlák good question.. The best songs are thoses up to everyone's feelings and interpretation I guess (I'd say it's about mothers)
my son has passed and this song makes me weep like a baby, every time
It's about leaving loved ones and them not knowing for sure if they will ever see you again.
dang. she's a good-looking lady. and terribly talented, too. :)
mais vous etez tous français yes
Hmmmm
Saltarian dammit i wish i could like your comment
