capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
Verse 1
Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh, but she burns
Like rum on a fire
Hot and fast and angry
As she can be
I walk my days on a wire
Pre-Chorus 1
It looks ugly, but it's clean,
Oh momma, don't fuss over me
Chorus
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
Verse 2
Calls of guilty thrown at me
All while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother
Pre-Chorus 2
But I want it, it's a crime
That she's not around most of the time
Chorus
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
Verse 3
Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh, but she loves
Like sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful
I'm all but washed
In the tide of her breathing
Pre-Chorus 3
And it's worth it, it's divine
And I have this some of the time
Chorus
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
