[G]
[N]
[E] I [N] wanna love you like the monster loves a flower
Disarming as a bird flying backwards
And my heart is a pomegranate How have I ached for your hands on my stomach?
I wanna love you like the monster loves a flower
[E]
[N]
Tenderly
I wanna know you like the clock knows the hour
I wanna see you with both my eyes forward
In the fields of rye and up in the rafter
Humbly
And oh, to know the nape of your neck
Oh, it would be the length of my old self
To swoon before the stretch beneath the fleshy ground [C] Peacefully
[N]
Into a blood-red sea in the wax of a whale
Meet me down there deep down where I am dark and pale
This longing I inherit, how it makes me shameful
This armor, how I wear it till I can no longer
And all the [Bbm] while in your blue [E] is so sallow
As bitter as [N] the snake that craftily crowls
On the cracked tongue of the quake in the shadows
Silently
I am a cage, I am a sailor, I am an arrow
I am a monster with the wings of a blind sparrow
And I wanna touch you like the seed touches the soil
I wanna hold you like the milk holds the spoil
Sing to me
[Bb]
Cling to me
And
[N] what of this cacophonous, these broken strings
And what of this, the blood-red kiss, the beast in the sea
I'll hush it now and I will sing its sounds to put it to sleep
And leave it there without a care that it might know this dream
