Needle and a Knife
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.
She works hard
Does it all without complaining
She believes that
Sacred things don't need explaining
And the mind is elevated
Though the body, devastated
The inner life of
Sweet sacrifice, yeah
Armed with nothing but a needle and a knife
Only your lonely love can devour you
But when you're lonely
The same love empowers you, yeah
She foresees
Apocalyptic curse will open
She believes
In something she can put her hope in
It's the holiest fixation
And it's taken cultivation
A pioneer in a foreign land, yeah
She's devoted to a real good man
Only your lonely love can devour you
But when you're lonely
The same love empowers you, yeah
