Lyrics
Midas Tongue (feat. Jesca Hoop)
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.
The devil made the water warm
And the fruit trees call out for us to taste them all
Little heart, I poured your wine and you poured mine
Heaven isn't always kind
Saying stars are far away and the Sun says gray
Wind is in the heavy wings and the light stone sinks
Halos and the night falls free
Falling not for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those
God is breathing on the shore
We become his words, disappear and reemerge
Even borrowed love is sung in a Midas tongue
Little heart, I knew you well
You were kin and my kind when I lost you in the tide
Sing a star for all that glows in the undertow
Halos and the night falls free
Falling not for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those
