I will build a ladder that reaches the stars
Out of every arrow I wounded you with
I will dig a tunnel to the depths of your heart
With my bare-boned fingers
I will dance naked like a fool in the street
I will tear at my hair and blacken my face
I will beat a path to your balcony
I will chase you down
When I find you I will make you love me
I will be on my knees
With my palms up, like the dogwood
I am begging you please
I will light the foxes tails on fire
I will burn down every hiding place
I will track you like a bloodhound thru hell and high-water
I will chase you down
I will weave you a shirt of star-thistle down
I will ruin my hands to keep you on the ground
Or I'll fly with the weight of the world on my shoulders
I will chase you down
When I find you I'm gonna make you love me
I will be on my knees
With my palms up like the dogwood
I am begging you please
I will feed you like a mother I will lift up your chin
I will sit in the corner with the cap on my head
I will tuck in my tail and do what you said
But it's all for nothing
I will lick up your blood til the wounds have healed
I will carry the carcass of what I have killed
I will reach for you in the night in the dark
I will find nothing
I will find nothing
