Under that burning ether that falls
down on these walls burning my arms
I've been alarmed when I sat by you
For every word I could undo
I've been uncrossed and I've been untrue
I've been the thorn I've been the heart
The heart of my own
burn it down low
the light in your verse
and the shadow between
the way that I was when I used to know
if I go what do I hope
For the maid or the mother I'll be
If only the loom and a thread would hold
It is work to be ? out here
Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones
There are roses that come without seeking
They are the ones that I have to sow
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
I wrote on these walls a simple charm
To keep the wolves at bay
Gave of a heart the strength of my arms
To hold you close and safe
But I kept my eyes closed and I'll never know
Where the shadows are these days
I stood in the room of a house divided
Ah and it washed away from me
It washed away from me
Oh and it washed away from me
It washed away...
...to take my own
burn it down low
the light in your verse
and the shadow between
the way that I was when I used to know
if I go what do I hope
For the maid or the mother I'll be
If only the loom and a thread would hold
It is work to be ? out here
Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones
There are roses that come without seeking
They are the ones that I have to sow
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
