Black Dog/Red Bird/Mountain's Blood

A love song.

my love is a black dog
sitting at your door
my love is a black dog
howling out for more
howling out for more

Let me taste your bones
Bleached and bare
bleached and bare
Let me taste your bones
Bleached and bare
Bleached and bare

my pain is a red bird
sleeping in my head
my pain is a red bird
never hatching from the egg
never hatching from the egg

let me dry your wings
let you go
let you go
let me dry your wings
let you go
let you go

that girl's a mountain's blood
earthen and serene
that girl's a mountain's blood
she's my molten dream
she's my molten dream

let me swallow you up
In my sea
in my sea
let me swallow you up
in my sea
in my sea

and there you will be
floating inside of me
mountain's blood no more
a heart beating at the core
we could have that and more
girl, if you just open up the door
and let that black dog come in from the cold
