Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh but she burns like rum on a fire
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
I walk my days on a wire
[PreChorus]
It looks ugly
But it's clean
Oh mama, don't fuss over me
[Chorus]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
[Verse 2]
Calls of "guilty" thrown at me
All while she stains the sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother
[PreChorus]
But I want it
It's a crime
That she's not around most of the time
[Chorus]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
[Verse 3]
Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loves like sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful
I'm all but washed in the tide of her breathing
[PreChorus]
And it's worth it
It's divine
I have this some of the time
[Chorus]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
