Cherry Wine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Her eyes and words are so icy

Oh, but she burns

Like rum on the fire

Hot and fast and angry

As she can be

I walk my days on a wire

It looks ugly, but it's clean

Oh, momma, don't fuss over me

The way she tells me

I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist

Would be fine

The blood is rare

And sweet as cherry wine

Calls of guilty thrown at me

All while she stains

The sheets of some other

Thrown at me so powerfully

Just like she throws

With the arm of her brother

But I want it, it's a crime

That she's not around most of the time

The way she shows me

I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist

Would be fine

The blood is rare

And sweet as cherry wine

Her fight and fury is fiery

Oh, but she looks

Like sleep to the freezing

Sweet and right and merciful

I'm all but washed

In the tide of her breathing

And it's worth it, it's divine

I have this some of the time

The way she shows me

I'm hers and she is mine

Open hand or closed fist

Would be fine

The blood is rare

And sweet as cherry wine
