Promise - CocoRosie

[00:18.370]Open hearted as a heart can be
[00:20.800]Cause we all a ruin like broken leaves
[00:23.800]I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
[00:28.720]Stitched together like pants and sleeves
[00:31.090]I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
[00:35.070]Danced to dust and dusk and
[00:37.830]Strung along the highway
[00:39.710]I found my way belligerent
[00:42.950]Following the stars of your eyes
[00:47.130]Promise me that you'll cherish
[00:57.800]This tarnished
[01:01.230]Oh this tarnished offering
[01:07.040]
[01:10.660]And if you take me inside
[01:13.280]And you give me a place to hide and cry
[01:16.710]I'll bathe you in the crystal light
[01:19.380]That sleeps between my thighs
[01:21.570]At times you fear the angle's sigh
[01:25.810]To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
[01:28.490]But in this chalice you'll find the wine
[01:31.430]Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
[01:34.240]And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
[01:37.540]But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
[01:40.590]And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
[01:44.330]Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
[01:47.140]Promise me that you'll cherish
[01:57.560]This tarnished
[02:00.120]Oh this tarnished offering
[02:06.610]Oh this offering
[02:10.540]Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
[02:13.400]Sprung from me when first we kissed
[02:15.830]You held me quietly a rush purged me of my past
[02:20.510]Opened a desert of diamonds vast
[02:23.620]Glinting and a tiny of swallows
[02:26.930]Swing open the door freed the caged bees and wallows
[02:29.990]Swarm geometric patterns on the sun
[02:32.350]Eclipse new moon
[02:33.790]And tempt my werewolf not to run
[02:37.780]
[02:38.410]Tempt my werewolf not to run
[02:42.030]
[02:46.020]Promise me that you'll cherish
[02:56.690]This tarnished
[02:59.250]Oh this tarnished offering
[03:04.430]
[03:09.740]Promise me that you'll cherish
[03:20.030]This tarnished
[03:22.590]Oh this tarnished offering
