Have you ever felt a bluebird on your palm?
Held her frail life in your hands?
How could I have ever known how lost you were
When I wished for you, my falling star?
You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn
You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world
Have you ever held the world in a cherry stone?
When the ground’s this cold, nothing grows
So how could I have ever know how lost you were?
But I miss you so, Lucifer
You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn
You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world
I feel the cold in the marrow of my bones
Receive me now, my lone, my Lucifer
How could I ever know how lost you were?
How could I ever know how far you fell to earth?
You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn
You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world
I feel the cold in the marrow of my bones
Receive me now, my lone, my Lucifer
