Hozier - Cherry Wine lyrics

Her eyes and words are so icy Oh but she burns Like rum on the fire Hot and fast and angry As she can be I walk my days on a wire It looks ugly, but it's clean Oh momma, don't fuss over me [Chorus] The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine Open hand or closed fist would be fine The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine Calls of guilty fall on me All while she stains The sheets of some other sponsored links Thrown at me so powerfully Just like she throws with the arm of her brother But I want it, it's a crime That she's not around most of the time [Chorus] Her fight and fury is fiery Oh but she loves Like sleep the the freezing Sweet and right and merciful I'm all but washed In the tide of her breathing And it's worth it, it's divine And I can have this some of the time [Chorus]
