I've been carrying this Like my heart's in a fist And its grip is tightening The lantern whispers then flickers out I wait in the wind And the storm is rising
Heart that pounds the dreamer’s night, The monsters of love’s afterlife The brazen hills of desperate heights of How not where to bring your glance Sideways soft in silent hands
You Belong to Me Though you let me go You'll Always Belong to Me
Now you're older, you're still unchanged And I through the years just a ruined memory The patient slighted character Such a tiny voice now my thunder's menacing
My dreams wrap tightly around your neck, The boney snaps of breaking wings, Lotus flowers, careful step, creeping, ivy’s patient web, Creeps the ivy higher still
You Belong to Me Though you let me go You'll Always Belong to Me
Enough to choke, too much to stifle I will ring the temple bell The Yurei at the river bank No longer silent as the grave
Walking past my house is futile I pull you down my winding wilderness - Running then falling then drowning - Until you've been properly frightened. Like paying respects or a debt you always owe. A tithe perhaps.
You'll Belong to Me You'll Belong to Me Let the waters rise, let the fires burn You Belong to Me Let the gale winds blow, let the mountains fall You Belong to Me Running then falling then drowning - You Belong to Me
