SWEET EVVY

Whenever the world cries

The world cries with her

Stacked up and diamond studded

A beauty as cold as winter

I’ve seen all the hands are reaching

It’s a lonely parting, this greeting

I’ve wandered alone

Drank myself out of home

I’ll be your snake

And if any doubt remains

I’ll wrap myself around you

Broken pieces to leave weeping

Whenever the world lies

The world lies through her

Oasis of all that I’ve wanted

Burning sands and midnight meetings

I’ve witnessed the falling nations

Nothing left to spent emotion

I’ve wandered alone

Silent streets without a home

Sweet Evvy your moves are evasive

Chasing shadows, how long have I waited?

The drop is far and the face is steep

Without a path, without a reach

The Jack of Diamonds is a hard card to play

Secrets buried with the death of day

The minds are dim and the lights are low

Sweet Evvy kills the voice on the radio

I’ll be your snake

And if any doubt remains

I’ll wrap myself around you

Broken pieces to leave weeping
