The three songs from this concert about her family are gorgeous and poignant beyond belief. I re-listen whenever my heart feels closed down (so, a lot), I cry for a bit, and then I feel much more relaxed and capable of love. Such precious gifts.
Putative lyrics: I face it with my flayed skull And await the morning wind. It burns like salt, It's not your fault That I ain't got no skin. I ran into the dawn Until my voice has gone. I called, "I love you through it all." They said I couldn't hold you When I tried to take your hand. Alarm bells rang; The nurse was saying Things I can't understand. Too warm, too warm. I drew my arm Away against the glass. "Is he okay?" my flayed skull asked. I prayed the fear would pass. They say you need me here, And, oh, and I need that. But I need it. My eyes scan every place, And I stand guard all night In vigil, in warning and in waste, Unheeded. Wild, too Cold and blue. But look at those curls. How do ya do? Though I cannot imagine it, Recall it or conceive. I’m not going far away, I know what I believe. I know, I know, I know Because they tell me that it’s true And the spell will break and wake me anew. So I sit and rock, and rock through space And kiss your face and sing. The smoke is thick, My skin is sick, The bombs are whistling. The death, the doom, The leaden, looming dread is always near. But I love you, And you are here. I feared that it had gone. I feared that you would never find me, My darlin' son. But you found me. And though it took awhile, Now I look and find your blindin' starlight smile Surrounds me. We bleed through, Clear and true. Here with you now. I wish that I could show you What I know about this pain. I can’t now, I don’t know how, But I’ll be back again. For bowing in the scouring wind, That lays low everything. I love you, My flayed skull sings.

Putative lyrics:
I face it with my flayed skull
And await the morning wind.
It burns like salt,
It's not your fault
That I ain't got no skin.
I ran into the dawn
Until my voice has gone.
I called,
"I love you through it all."
They said I couldn't hold you
When I tried to take your hand.
Alarm bells rang;
The nurse was saying
Things I can't understand.
Too warm, too warm.
I drew my arm
Away against the glass.
"Is he okay?"
my flayed skull asked.
I prayed the fear would pass.
They say you need me here,
And, oh, and I need that.
But I need it.
My eyes scan every place,
And I stand guard all night
In vigil, in warning and in waste,
Unheeded.
Wild, too
Cold and blue.
But look at those curls.
How do ya do?
Though I cannot imagine it,
Recall it or conceive.
I’m not going far away,
I know what I believe.
I know, I know, I know
Because they tell me that it’s true
And the spell will break and wake me anew.
So I sit and rock, and rock through space
And kiss your face and sing.
The smoke is thick,
My skin is sick,
The bombs are whistling.
The death, the doom,
The leaden, looming dread is always near.
But I love you,
And you are here.
I feared that it had gone.
I feared that you would never find me,
My darlin' son.
But you found me.
And though it took awhile,
Now I look and find your blindin' starlight smile
Surrounds me.
We bleed through,
Clear and true.
Here with you now.
I wish that I could show you
What I know about this pain.
I can’t now, I don’t know how,
But I’ll be back again.
For bowing in the scouring wind,
That lays low everything.
I love you,
My flayed skull sings.

Sometimes her songs sound like they could have been sung by pioneer people hundreds of years ago.
