Firewater - Balaliaka Lyrics

When the moon opens up her eye

And the sun bows down his head

You come stealing softly to my bed

When the dogs chase rabbit dreams

Cats are milking up the fire

You dance toward me

Balanced on a slender wire

Balaliaka sing to me

Like a siren from the deep

Balaliaka sing a tender song

Balaliaka soothe my soul

Like you did so long ago

How I miss your sorrow

And your smile



Now the trees are whispering

As I lie here in the grass

Waiting for this long cold night to pass

A thousand eyes are gazing down

Like bullet holes shot into the roof

As I lie here scratching

For a grain or truth



Balaliaka sing to me

Like a siren from the deep

Balaliaka sing a tender song

Balaliaka soothe my soul

Like you did so long ago

How I miss your sorrow

And your smile



Balaliaka sing to me

Like a siren from the deep

Balaliaka sing a tender song

Balaliaka soothe my soul

Like you did so long ago

Drink with me before I have to go

Before I have to go
