MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - The Maker lyrics

My brother, my sister, my lover, my maker

Did someone here fade it, someone here fake it

Did someone here take it, someone here make it

Someone here steal it, someone here lease it

Under the table where we used to take it

The briar, the bracken, the ebb flow

The "Cold Shoulder" trilogy

I've been seen crossing

Somebody else's mind

So I'm dreaming, let's start at the endings

Of love & sex, it's a strange one, often a staged one

Oh, maybe we can get it on the run

The story is a new one, it's based on a re-run

You wouldn't have known it if I hadn't brought it up

Oh, maybe we should just let it go

Oh no

I've been seen crossing

Somebody else's mind

Nothing is sacred and I cannot shake it

This feeling of loss when the daytime is crossed

By the sight of night, the sharp moonlight

Dyes the sky

And I'm wondering now if you got my last call

Or was the music too loud when you let out the hounds

Oh, maybe you should come and see my show

I hope not

I've been seen crossing

Somebody else's mind

I love you so

(Boiling some water to kill myself)

I love you so

(Boiling some water to kill myself)

Let it be known

(Boiling some water to kill myself)

Let it be known

(Boiling some water to kill myself)

(repeat)

You went across my heart

You've been crossing my mind

Nothing is sacred and I cannot shake it

This feeling of loss when the daytime is crossed by

This feeling of loss when the daytime is crossed by

This feeling of loss when the daytime is crossed...
