lyrics

I stopped for a moment on the threshold of your house
Over your bed, you were counting up your fears
It’s a long way up, down to where I stand
In turn my lips began whispering
You will pay with a wound, for the wound that you forgot
Over and over again
All your dreams will fade, save for the one with the black jewelled moon

I lie awake with the necklace of your hands,
woven tight with promises unkept.
I heard the warning and I’ll take the blame

Oh tender blood, you broken girl, where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, he’ll take you home

All your dreams will fade, save for the one over there,
outside in the meadow, where flowers wither in the springtime
And I’m free at last from this senseless speech

If you run to the brook from where the moonlight springs
Make your peace, for I will wait you there
Come hither child, you’ll be long gone

Oh tender blood, you broken girl, where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, he’ll take you home
Oh tender blood, you broken girl, where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, you’ll go alone

All your dreams did fade, save for the one with the black jewelled moon
