I stopped for a moment on the
threshold of your house
Over your bed, you were counting up
your fears
It’s a long way up, down to where I
stand
In turn my lips began whispering
You will pay with a wound, for the
wound that you forgot
Over and over again
All your dreams will fade, save for
the one with the black jewelled moon
I lie awake with the necklace of
your hands,
woven tight with promises unkept.
I heard the warning and I’ll take
the blame
Oh tender blood, you broken girl,
where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, he’ll take
you home
All your dreams will fade, save for
the one over there,
outside in the meadow, where flowers
wither in the springtime
And I’m free at last from this
senseless speech
If you run to the brook from where
the moonlight springs
Make your peace, for I will wait you
there
Come hither child, you’ll be long
gone
Oh tender blood, you broken girl,
where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, he’ll take
you home
Oh tender blood, you broken girl,
where have you gone?
Up and down by the brook, you’ll go
alone
