Tuning: D, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
How's one to k
now?
I'd meet you w
here the spiri
t meets the bo
nes
In a faith for
gotten land
In from the sn
ow
Your touch bro
ught forth an
incandescent g
low
Tarnished but
so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
And the old wi
dow goes to th
e stone every
day
But I don't, I
just sit here
and wait
Grieving for t
he living
[Chorus]
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits i
n the palm of
your freezing
hand
Taking mine, b
ut it's been p
romised to ano
ther
Oh, I can't
Stop you putti
ng roots in my
dreamland
My house of st
one, your ivy
grows
And now I'm co
vered in you
[Verse 2]
I wish to know
The fatal flaw
that makes yo
u long to be
Magnificently
cursed
He's in the ro
om
Your opal eyes
are all I wis
h to see
He wants what'
s only yours
[Chorus]
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits i
n the palm of
your freezing
hand
Taking mine, b
ut it's been p
romised to ano
ther
Oh, I can't
Stop you putti
ng roots in my
dreamland
My house of st
one, your ivy
grows
And now I'm co
vered
[Bridge 1]
Clover blooms
in the fields
Spring breaks
loose, the tim
e is near
What would he
do if he found
us out?
Crescent moon,
coast is clea
r
Spring breaks
loose, but so
does fear
He's gonna bur
#
n this house t
o the ground
[Verse 3]
How's one to k
now?
I'd live and d
ie for moments
that we stole
On begged and
borrowed time
So tell me to
run
Or dare to sit
and watch wha
t we'll become
And drink my h
usband's wine
[Chorus]
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits i
n the palm of
your freezing
hand
Taking mine, b
ut it's been p
romised to ano
ther
Oh, I can't
Stop you putti
ng roots in my
dreamland
My house of st
one, your ivy
grows
And now I'm co
vered in you
And I'm covere
d in you
[Bridge 2]
So yeah, it's
a fire
It's a goddamn
blaze in the
dark
And you starte
d it
You started it
So yeah, it's
a war
It's the godda
mn fight of my
life
And you starte
d it
You started it
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't
Stop you putti
ng roots in my
dreamland
My house of st
one, your ivy
grows
And now I'm co
vered
In you
In you
Now I'm covere
