lyrics

Somewhere deeply I believe
I must give life to be free
my blood yearns to flow
in another
every cell in search;
how to mother

My blood runs circles
round the bends of my heart
Circles round my body and flings me apart

My flesh grows circles
round the bends of my bones
The bends and curves of the bones that feel so alone

Tell me to be careful
tell me to be cautious
Tell me to be wary
tell me to be warned
tell me that I should watch where I roam

Take up rent
inside your own soul
with the sense
you will be cold
make haste when you do leave
don’t you let them
see you grieve

Tell me tell me tell me tell me…

Somewhere darkly I believe
best for them is best for me
to exist for someone else
is a woman’s need

Let yourself run circles round the bends of your thoughts
in the cycle
only you have wrought

Your own blood runs circles round the bends
of your heart
your own blood
will never tear you apart

Tell me to be careful
tell me to be cautious
Tell me to be wary
tell me to be warned
tell me that I should not walk alone

Look that demon in the face
offer it a warm embrace
you will grow
with greatest grace
once you find
it has a place

Tell me tell me tell me tell me…

To exist for someone small
or someone big
or someone wise
to be held in another's eyes
to be held in another's eyes

We will be revered by those who knew us best
I cannot be held
to the light
by one I held to my breast
loved by one
beloved to all
and cheating death
