The shattered grove where one tree knows
What's gone is always gone

Yet autumn leaves still spread to keep
The red of dusk alive at dawn

My daddy dyed my thread with blood
He wove for me the sky

My mamma sewed me to herself
By life how could she know to die

I am bound to my life by the dead
I am bound to the dead by my love
I am bound to my life by the dead
I am bound to the dead by my blood
