lyrics

Sun on blue and gold shuffled loved and old
spread across a scarf with dotty mae
I was hoping I could control the weather
I was hoping you could show me how.

How do I know, how do I know, how do I know to run?
How do I see, how do I see, how do I see the way out?

Pass me Peach’s wooden tea box,
I’ve had enough,
don’t want it on my conscience -
too late.
Fetch me one more linen blanket
to cover up my,
give it up
my language
asunder in the witch dance.

I came to you because
I had a need so deep
I know
and then I don’t
I feel
and then I don’t .

Tell me what to gain and what to lose,
haven’t thought it through,
don’t want these consequences
too late.
Picking through my womanly mistakes
earthly and base,
to find my way to the honeyed doves,
asunder in the witch dance.

How do I know, how do I know, how do I know to run?
How do I see, how do I see, how do I see the way out? X2

Oh and you need it now.
Oh and you need your senses more than ever
Come when you need to run
Come when you need your sense of the danger.

Pass me Peach’s wooden tea box,
I’ve had enough,
don’t want it on my conscience -
too late.
Fetch me one more linen blanket
to cover up my,
give it up
my language
asunder in the witch dance.

Dotty, dotty
dotty, dotty,
dotty, dotty
dotty, dotty
mae, mae,
mae, mae
mae, mae
mae, mae
