You are the girl with a black heart
|
You are the stars
|
You are the girl with a bright light
|
I see it shine
|
You find yourself wrapped up in a black art
|
You bear the scars
|
You are the girl with a black heart
|
I see it shine
|
|
I watch your sun set
|
And then you lift the moon into a sky on fire
|
And the colours that you choose
|
To court and spark
|
To ignite the dark
|
Burning up in the bright light of your black heart
|
Your black heart
|
|
You shake the cold off of your shoulders
|
Your bones harden in the breeze
|
Billowing smoke, white ghosts are bowed ribbons
|
Through the shivering leave
|
You breathe a big wind
|
You sing of ice and snow
|
Shutting up them hungry dogs
|
You come and bury them bones
|
You bathe them bright white in the shadows
|
Burning up in the bright light of your black heart
|
|
And I want you to believe everything that I say
|
And I want you to believe in the good that you do
|
And the beauty of a black heart
|
Is the light shining through
|
And the light is you
|
