devour me
devour me
wash me down
with the stars
in the darkness
savor the sweet
the savior
look to the trees
and whisper a sad song
wash me down
devour me
until you reach the soil
and find me there
feel the wind
and let her hold you
whisper a sad song
wash me down
the suds grow
in the kitchen sink
stones breathe
let them skip
whisper a sad song
and look to the trees
tell time
to come back tomorrow
the dawn
a moment longer
wash me down
with the stars
let them run
into the sky
wash me down
with the stars
devour me
and whisper a sad song
to the trees
never too long
they bend
they break
in light of days
see the grass
let them feel you
a gentle caress
she knows the way
wash me down
with the stars
bathe in the sunshine
and cry for the rain
blood of my love
eye of the earth
let the sky open
feast on my body
lay me down
let your hands run
whisper a sad song
in the darkness
with a breath
wash me down
with the stars
