Down in the ditch
Where she nearly served me
She tells me mistakes
Are part of being young

She’s staring at the sun
Her sweet, sweet voice
Ringing in my ear

It blows my mind
She would even talk to me
Reaching out to touch a stranger

But the body asks so much

I put my hand on her heart and tell her:

“All that I’ve got,
I tie in a knot and
Lay at your feet.”

And she:

“All that I’ve got
Is scattered like seed.
Take this pinecone,
This dirt is temporary.”

If she lets me take it
I’ll never look for love again

Now, darling, just as I
Can’t sleep at night
Can’t bury this bone

You’re standing in the sea
Your body moving away from me

Weighing heavy on my mind
It burns irrevocably
