Lyrics
Cedarwood and rosemary
Pretty words don’t mean a thing
Drinking on my own it makes me feel low
Your old hat still on the sill
There’s some things that I’m afraid to
Say out loud in case they become true
Sculpture on the mantelpiece
A woman stands holding my gaze
If someone sculpted me right now I would turn away
Heavy as the earthen clay
I feel brittle, soft and shy
Sculpt me gently around you
Send me back into the kiln
It was morning when I let you in
But now it’s dark outside again
I wanna hide in my wardrobe
Like I did when I was five
Sculpture in the garden bed
A woman lies down on her back
If someone sculpted me right now I’d be running
High fire glaze, December sun
Eyes cast far on the horizon
Turn me gently towards you
Tell me that I’m safe here
Draw me any way that you want me
Draw me with a frown
I’m dancing in my stubborn stained
Blue hand-me-down
