Drink Deep (Chamber Version)

Through bramble and briar Under ash and oak I went to find the hidden folk They gave me gowns and riches Cut gold thread with their teeth Every night I went to see them No I did not sleep And every cup they brought to me Oh you know I did Drink deep Drink deep My eyes began to hollow My skin began to fade What I thought was a night was a thousand years What I thought was a sip, was a thousand tears But still they said drink deep Drink deep But the thread that they spun Was a woman's hair And the gowns stitched from her tenderest flesh And the cup that they brought up to my lips I realised I drank of myself Yes it came from me It was made from me Still I drank deep Still I drank deep
