[verse:]
You tread so light, walkin' through the gates of my garden
And I can't say no to the love that you are offering me
I am barely old, I was a girl just yesterday
Oh, oh
[pre-Chorus:]
And I walk harberly, I watch you through the ice of the side as people came in
You were reborn to something true, something warm
You wash my hair and I tremble and dissolve into your hands
And you ask, you ask for every last drop of me
[Chorus:]
I yield to you a thousand times, a thousand times, a thousand times
My naked face, my fall from grace, my tears all scattered on the white
You're cardinal, red hope flash and wings all dashed against the rocks
If I whisper, she knows the cost
[Bridge:]
I'm lying down in this dead valley, this dead valley, in this rain
And it's all for you, it's all for you, all for you
[Outro:]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
