Lyrics

I might be a part of this Ripple on water from a lonesome drip A fallen tree that witness me I'm alone, him and me And then life itself can not aspire To have someone be so admired I threw creation to my kin Have the silence broken by a whispered wind All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground And root to root and tip to tip I look at him, my country gip All leathered up by all his fears But someone brought you close to tears Many trains and many miles Brought you to me on this sunny isle What of which you wish to speak Have you come here to rescue me? All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground But the love of your life lives but lies no more And where she lay a flower grows And the arms that fed and the babes that wed And the backs have bled keeping her in tow But I am your keeper And I hold your face away from light I am yours 'til they come I am yours 'til they come Eye to eye, nose to nose Ripping off each other's clothes In the most peculiar way Eye to eye, nose to nose Ripping off each other's clothes In the most peculiar way
