Clay Pot Woman
The long, white spirit collectors
So diligently in their work
Collect souls of the deceased
At night when spirits lurk
They bring me back the spirits
In which sustain my life
Every day and every night
When humans are cut down by knife
I take these souls and use them
In my clay pot of a body
When I was brought back to this world
From my ashes, mud and water, by a woman very naughty
Only a portion of my soul was used
So the soul collectors get the other thread
I've been told it's hard to kill a corpse
It's been proven, I've been killed, but I am already dead
If someone would smash the terra cotta woman
I'd live happily with other who have passed
But no one will shatter this clay pot
So, forever more will the clay pot last
I have no business here but to do good
To comfort them in their time of grief
And my soul collectors will take the souls of those who have died
I will stay here to help those who cried I Have to keep myself aboard this boat of a life I suppose I'll join that girl sara, and play forever on a fife.
