Sleeplessly embracing
Butterflies and needles
Line my seamed-up join
Encased in case I need it
In my stomach, for my heart
Chain mail
Hunger of the pine
Hunger of the pine
Sleeplessly embracing
Yawn yearns into me
Plenty more tears in the sea
And so you finally use it
Bedding with me you see at night
Your heart wears knight armor
Hunger of the pine
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
Female rebel
Oh, oh, oh
Sleeplessly
Embracing
You
Realisation grew on me
As quickly as it takes your hand
To warm the cool side of the pillow
I'm there for you, be there for me
I'll hum the song the soldiers sing
As they march outside our window
Hunger of the pine
Sleeplessly embracing you
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a female rebel)
Sleeplessly embracing you
(I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a female rebel)
Une immense espérance a traversé la terre
Une immense espérance a traversé ma peur
