Basia Bulat - Heart Of My Own Lyrics
Under that birdBeneath that fallsDown on these wallsBurnin my armsI've been aloneWhen I sat by youFor every word I could undoI've been uncrossedAnd I've been untrueI've been the thornI've been the huntWith a heart of my ownBurn it down lowThe light in your verseAnd the shadow betweenThe way that I was when I used to roamBack homeWhat do I hold?For the maid or the mother I'll beIf only the loom and a thread will hold.It is work too but as that I hear itTomorrow I'll mend itThe empty bones.There are the roses that come without seekin'They are the ones that I have to sow.In your verses that I have repeatedThe way that I was when I used to know.I wrote on these wallsA simple charmTo keep the wounds at bayGave of a heartThe strength of my armsTo hold you close and safeBut I kept my eyes closedI'll never knowWhere the shadows are these daysI stood in the room of a house dividedAh, and it washed away from me.It washed away from me, oh,And It washed away from me.It washed away to take my ownBurn it down lowThe light in your verseAnd the shadow betweenThe way that I was when I used to roamBack homeWhat do I hold?For the maid or the mother I'll beIf only the loom and a thread will hold.It is work too but as that I hear itTomorrow I meant itThe empty bonesThere are the roses that come without sinkinThey are the ones that I have to sowIn your verses that I have repeatedThe way that I was when I used to know.
