Once again, I've been alone too long I arrived, thistle-strung Built a body from the bone you throw on I was cold, I let my hair grow wild I shook the dust from my boots I hid my teeth beneath the honey jar I was born a wolf in woman's clothes Shadow-stain, blue and gray Tore a hole in every dress I made Knit our limbs and trimmed the ivy back You let me lie in your bed You saw my hunger Called it tenderness Take me gently Make me into somebody easy Fables speak and needles stitch Oh, I only wanted to be easy ♪ Call to all the low and snowless ones Ever dark, ever quiet Never barking out loud I'll be gone before the dawn kicks up I have no patience left Won't tuck my tongue into my mouth Take me gently Make me into somebody easy Fables speak and needles stitch Oh, I only wanted to be easy Ah, to be easy
