Steve Way - The Gift lyrics

rate me

She pulls back a calico curtainHalf shuts her eyes to the lightInside she is warm but uncertainIf she's unlocked the chains of the night.She looks down on the streetWhere they're selling their meatAnd remembers her feet felt so raw, And the church of her heartIs now falling apartLaying ruined and bare on the floor.She no longer fears the rejectionShe knows she's not tired or wornFor she has the perfect infectionHer body is battered and torn.She pulls down a blindAt the back of her mindSo no-one but strangers will see, Then she turns out the lightSaying one last 'Goodnight, I have so many places to be.'They laid out her body on graniteTortured and twisted in greyThe thought that I caught was, Would IAlways recall her this way?Down in her soulThey discovered a holeThat was cold as coldest couldest beBut her spirit lives onIn a rose by the lawnAnd this gift that she's given to me.
