Domestication

Once again, I've been alone too long I arrived thistle strung Built a body from a bone you'd thrown I was cold, I let my hair grow wild I shook the dust from my boots I hid my teeth beneath the honey jar I was born a wolf in women's clothes Shadow stained blue and grey Tore a hole in every dress I made Knit our limbs and trim the ivy back You let me lie in your bed You saw my hunger, called it tenderness Take me gently, make me into somebody easy Fable speak and needle stitch, oh I only want it to be easy Call to all the low and snowless ones Ever dark, ever quiet, never barking out loud I'll be gone before the dawn kicks up I have no patience left, won't tuck my tongue into my mouth Take me gently, make me into somebody easy Fable speak and needle stitch, oh I only want it to be easy Oh, to be easy
