The shadow of your ghost is holier than most How could I defy something so divine You'll drop me off where your tolerance ends And I'll go home and I'll make love to what you defend Don't favour a wounded knee Don't look on me with pity Who will meet the earth Who'll follow their rebirth A circle from a line, a pattern in our time Maybe we'll return and try with what we've earned Maybe you would find you needed me once you're unworn Don't favour a want in me Don't look on me with pity How can I take away what has grown How can I be okay on my own How can I take away what has grown How can I be okay
