Said The Whale - The Gift of a Black Heart lyrics

You are the girl with a black heart You are the stars You are the girl with a bright light I see it shine You find yourself wrapped up in a black art You bear the scars You are the girl with a black heart I see it shine I watch your sun set And then you lift the moon into a sky on fire And the colours that you choose To court and spark To ignite the dark Burning up in the bright light of your black heart Your black heart You shake the cold off of your shoulders Your bones harden in the breeze Billowing smoke, white ghosts are bowed ribbons Through the shivering leave You breathe a big wind You sing of ice and snow Shutting up them hungry dogs You come and bury them bones You bathe them bright white in the shadows Burning up in the bright light of your black heart And I want you to believe everything that I say And I want you to believe in the good that you do And the beauty of a black heart Is the light shining through And the light is you
