lyrics

this love
i am but one of the many
who has dared
to love you most
you belong to no- one
you belong to the air
and you blow like thistles
‘round my head

i gave you arrows again
to go hunting
more fool am i to pretend
to be this stone hearted woman

your hair is dark
with the hands
of all those that have loved you
i loved them all
with you
you come to me
on a night of storms
of rain and thorns
but i’m this girl of wood and stone
flowers and bones
i am of wood and stone
flowers and bones
awkward beauty of it
you walk like a boy
unable to feel his own heart yet
so come now gather me
like gardenia
like broken things
