Sacred grove
Secret transformation
Nightshade grown
Girl into a maiden
Thorny paws
From dancing in the roses
She wraps herself
In a bear-skin tied with roses
Wilting in the sun with you
Drinking from a bowl shaped moon
I know you’ll make a vestal bride but
Darling you’ll be free at night
Moss and stone
Amethyst embedded bone
Pale and thin
Orchids grow upon her skin
Bowing down
Folding like a flower
Fennel crown
Interwoven shadow
Piercing through the boughs to you
Picking through the bones for you
Shining through the bars of brass
Prisoner beneath the grass
La-la-la-la-la Uh Huh
May this be the last
May this be the last
I hide your name beneath each word
I speak your name
I wear your ghost just like a gown
Over my own
May you be the last
May you be the last

Skull valley is where my father sleeps
Where the bones of my mother play guitar
Where my lady weeps
Skull valley her tears upon the graves
In the very last hole of that old boneyard
S’where my body lay
Where my baby lay
My ghost holds on, my soul holds on
Holding onto you
My ghost holds on, my soul holds on
Holding onto you
My ghost holds on, my soul holds on

Steel Swan

|

|
Surrender to the ocean
I was born to be a legend
I surrender to the ocean
All my bones and bloody body
If you speak to the first lady
Would you tell her she’s a darling
Though I never said I loved her
Would you tell her I loved her truly
Cause my soul flies on though my steel swan falls
Yeah my soul flies on though my steel swan falls

It’s a vision of the future
When I feel your hand in mine
It’s a vision of the future
When I feel your hair in mine beneath the water
I was hiding with my friend under the water
I hiding my friend
It’s a vision of the future
I was holding you like sand between fingers
I was holding you like glass upon the sunrise
I was holding you like string within the Labyrinth
I was watching when you left me on the island
Maybe I’m a wave
Maybe you’re the limestone
Maybe I’m days and days of waves
For you
You’re the rocks around the lighthouse, lighthouse
I keep breaking on you
I keep crashing on you forever, forever
I keep breaking on you
It’s a vision of the past
There was a forest in your eyes
There was a forest in your eyes
There was a forest in your eyes
There was a forest in your eyes
It’s a vision of the past
There was a forest in your eyes
But now its past
And there were tigers in the flowers
They have past
And there was laughter in the leaves
Cause there were witches in the trees
But they have past
Maybe I’m the grass
Maybe you’re the stampede
Maybe I’m hills and hills of grass to you
You’re the hooves upon the garden, darlin’
Keep tramping through me
I’m the ring around the roses, baby
You keep breaking through me
You’re the candle in the dark house, darlin’
Keep burning through me
You’re the lantern in the ivy, baby
Keep burning through me
We can change our names forever, forever
Any form that you choose
We can play these games forever, forever
I’m happy to lose ( maybe the best lyric of the last decade)
I’m happy to lose

Mary

Mary won’t you speak to me
Tell me what to do
Mary won’t you speak to me
Tell me who I am
Was I raised in a blaze of heavenly flame
Conceived in a dream and pulled into the day
Or was I born on a train in secret with no name
Was I born on a train in secret with your name

Soldier Of The Light

|
If you call my name
I will change my name
If you change with me
I’ll turn into a tree
If, if you build a church
I’ll turn into a blackbird
On some holy morn
You’ll see a shadow on the steeple
Watch me turn and tumble through the window
Stained with sun and swords
Am I a soldier of the light
Girl break my fall, untangle me tonight
All the other martyrs bleeding on the marble
Broken in the courtyard helpless in the sun
Helpless in the sun
Helpless in the sun
Sad, For seventeen
I hope I made you happy
Gem, Gemini
I love both of your faces
When
When you thought I was sleeping
I was pretending to be sleeping
When
When we say that we are human
We are pretending to be human (personal fave)
Let us dance and stumble through the graveyard
Stained with mud and bone and rose
Are you a daughter of the night
You untangle me tonight
All the other martyrs singing in the starlit
Cemetery garden
Rows between the moonlight dying in the sun
Helpless in the sun
Dying in the sun
Sun, sun, sun…

Black Horses

She was picking flowers by herself
She was picking flowers by herself
Tired of sleeping by myself
She was picking flowers
When I picked her like a flower
From the daylight, from the sun
And I sounded like a plane crash
Black horses took us down
Down home
Sweet home
It is not so bad once you learn how to be sad
I hope in time that you’ll fall in love with me

I could would have made
A white bouquet of Queen Anne’s lace
I would have licked
Those burning teardrops from your face
I’m hanging on
Two strands of gold upon a stone
Different bones
Darlin’ keep that ribbon round your throat
I would have pulled
Your broken frame out from the egg.
I would have caught
The moonlight which within you’d bathe
I’m not confused
A different kind of paradise
Different hell
Darlin’ keep those visions to yourself
