about

Eleventh track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)

lyrics

PAIN & 31
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2008

A girl with a black eye in a Northern logging town
The winds in the fir trees whispering their blacker sound
A lamp in the window and a promise to come back
A hospital fire, nothing to pack

Falling snow hides crows
All of the fright of fathers’ sons
Under the light at Pain and 31

A girl with a secret in a quiet Southern town
The songs of the crickets whispering their secret sound
A book in the closet and a story never told
A volunteer choir, nothing to hold

Crawling home finds stone
All of the might of mothers’ tongues
Under the light at Pain and 31

Twin sisters in sadness ride the broken carriage down
The bells on the horses singing out their sadder sound
A room with no window and an angel crying white
A funeral pyre, nothing is right

Falling snow hides crows
All of the fright of fathers’ sons
Wander the night in vain and curse the sun

Crawling home finds stone
All of the might of mothers’ tongues
Under the light at Pain and 31
