Lyrics

I will be your singing bird,
Your singing bird for all my days.
If you let me be in love,
In love with my cage.
I will be your lying lamb,
Your lying lamb for all my life.
If you let me be in love,
Be in love with your knife.
And I will be your wishing bone;
Your wishing bone for you to break.
If you let me be the one,
Be the one wish you make.
And I will be your holy smoke,
My feet will never touch the ground.
I will be your tinderbox;
You light me up to burn me down.
And I will be what your are not;
A skeleton key free of life.
I will be the one you keep,
If you show me how to fall asleep.
