Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Aubergine Lyrics
Well I bled blue blood from my back last night, I was aloneAubergine sheets on my bed now, oh noAnd your blue eyes lieJust like an atlasIn those socketsYeah your blue eyes cry, mapwaterWhen you're sorryOh so sorryOh noYou with the nape that holds my gazeYou with the tongue that speaks my nameYou with the arms that keep me at lengthYou with the heart that won't show its faceAnd Jesus sucks the mud out of your soulBut the flame in your eye, it is blue and coldAnd you risked your wrist to save my lifeAnd I should have kissed you that nightBut it ain't rightOh noIt ain't rightOh noAnd absence makes my heart grow hollowAbsence makes my heart grow hollowMake me into an egg without yolk,Make me into an egg without yolkAbsence makes my heart grow hollowAbsence makes my heart grow hollowMake me into an egg without yolkYou make me into an egg without yolkI was unborn when I was youngerI was unborn when I was youngerBut I was rebuilt when you spokeI awoke when you spokeYou said, "there's always a reason for leaving,There's always a reason to stayI know exactly why I'm leaving: I just can't stay."And I say, "I'll give you my whole summerWhen you unfurl your fingers.I would be lying if I said you had nothingTo do with meYou're to blame for my being this way."You with the nape that holds my gazeYou with the tongue that speaks my nameYou with the arms that keep me at lengthYou with the heart that won't show its face
