Open hearted as a heart can be
|
cause we all a ruin like broken leaves
|
i give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
|
stitched together like pants and sleeves
|
i carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
|
danced to dust and dusk and
|
strung along the highway
|
i found my way belligerent
|
following the stars of your eyes
|
|
Promise me that you'll cherish
|
this tarnished
|
oh this tharnished offering
|
|
And if you take me inside
|
and you give me a place to hide and cry
|
i'll bathe you in the crystal light
|
that sleeps between my thighs
|
at times you fear the angle's sigh
|
to the lord and heavens that this ain't right
|
but in this chalice you'll find the wine
|
our hands hold bonfires burning bright
|
and the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
|
but i think you'll find that the lord is kind
|
and i pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
|
burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
|
|
Promise me that you'll cherish
|
this tarnished
|
oh this tarnished offering
|
oh this offering
|
|
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
|
spring from me when first we kissed
|
you held me quietly a rush purged me of my past
|
opened a desert of diamons vast
|
glinting and a tiny chorus of swallows
|
swing open the door freed the caged bees and wallows
|
swarm geometric patterns on the sun
|
eclipse new moon
|
and tempt my werewolf not to run
|
tempt my werewolf not to run
|
|
Promise me that you'll cherish
|
this tarnished
|
oh this tarnished offering
|
