“Burnt Seed”

- CATHRYN STONE

Keep burning these fingers

Just can’t seem to help it

Time and time again

Time and time again

I’ve danced the dance a thousand times

and it’s never less beguiling

But it’s oh so painful to your heart

That’s dying inside

Round and round and round and round I go

My skirt’s flying in the wind and I’m going the distance

My hair’s tying round and everybody’s watching

And I’m spinning, and just for a moment

I am loved

I am loved

But then the darkness falls like a veil

It shrouds me in my shadow, it pulls me with nails

And it nails me to that cross that I carved up myself

And I am standing on the hill and you are

Walking right by me…

Oh I can’t seem to stop getting big for my boots

Oh but you get a taste of sugar and you just run for it

Don’t you?

Well at least I do..

I’m sorry for everything my love

I’m sorry for everything my love

And the love before, and the love before

It was a burnt seed you see,

from which I came

It was a burnt seed you see,

from which I came…
