lyrics

Father he walked like the ocean,
I walked with bones like falling rain.
I knew I truly loved you darling
when to that mountain, death she came.

Father sold my soul to pay the bill
of a thousand broken nights.
The moon's embrace, that moonshine taste-
I gave my future to the tides.

The sea betrayed me for the wind
and left me buried in the sand.
So I gave my bones to the crows,
those wings of promised land.

They brought me to an unwound clock
they said would be my home.
The ice clung to my bloodshot eyes
as they tied me to the stone.

It's hard to say just when I woke
to a dove with wine-dark eyes.
I rode her howls to your house
built with muted sighs.

I hung my head, said I was blood
just waiting to be drained.
You smiled and said, "don't worry darling,
love is just a vein."
