lyrics

Did they raise you in a barn?
No, they raised you in a church.
How much fire hurts?
How much fire hurts?
Is that how much dispassion hurts?

There on fresh cut grass
lies my husband's beating virgin heart
calling to me across the miles
dead old men have stolen all your fire

Only twelve white buttons
stand between me and your shivery flesh
and the words of men who died so long ago
dead old men have stolen all your fire

I would love to steal it back for you;
fight that knight, and find I've cut
your soul in two.

Later I cried unexpectedly on the train,
and across my thirsty lips
breathed your H-less name.
