 Rate The Jeweller
Artist : This mortal coil
Song : The jeweller
Jeweller has a shop on the corner of the
boulevard.
In the night, in small spectacles he polishes old
coins.
He uses spit and cloths and ashes.
He makes them shine with ashes.
He knows the use of ashes.
He worships God with ashes.
The coins are often very old by the time they
reach the jeweller.
With his hand and ashes he will try the best he
can.
He knows that he can only shine them, cannot
repair the scratches.
He knows that even new coins have scars so he
just smiles.
He knows the use of ashes.
He worships god with ashes.
In the darkest of the night.
Both his hands will blister badly.
They will often open painfully and the blood
flows from his hands.
He works to take from black coin faces, the thumb
prints from so many ages.
He wishes he could cure the scars.
When he forgets he sometimes cries.
He knows the use of ashes.
He worships god with ashes.
He knows, He knows
He worships God with ashes
