Red sky morning, lovers warning Oh I know that promise you wear, well it ain't for me Shallow river, shining within her Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don't swallow me Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the title Wasted all for the crown Keep your distance, make resistance Stay the course when you falter and don't you think of me Glowing ember, growing within her Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don't swallow me May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the truth For the fool in her wedding gown Let her leave my sight Make her leave my mind Bring it down on my head If these sins are mine Call it down on my head For these sins are mine Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Let her go (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Lovely lady, no one's baby Keep your chains off the ground and don't you think of me

Tear it down Tear it down around my head I need you To bury this beneath my bed The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead My stone My shield, my steady hand Hold your light To the darkness in my head Put your ear to my heart or set your teeth against my throat Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes My darling, the devil knows my name Whoa, oh Lay me down Pour the dirt into our bed Tell the crows They can have their pound of flesh The ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers When they come for us, they'll come with hammers and nails My darling, the devil knows my name My name My name Get on your knees and Dig up the garden Won't you throw down that spade and Dig up the garden, darling? Get your hands dirty and Rip up the garden Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?

Tell me once again I could have been anyone, anyone else Before you made the choice for me My feet knew the path We walked in the dark, in the dark I never gave a single thought to where it might lead All those empty rooms We could have been anywhere, anywhere else Instead I made a bed with apathy My heart knew the weight Ten years worth of dust and neglect We made our peace with weariness and let it be The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you made With no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me Name your courage now We could have had anything, anything else Instead you hoarded all that's left of me Swallowing your doubt Like swords to the pit of my belly I want to feel the fire that you kept from me The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you made With no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone) I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
