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 / Now I feel the cold in the marrow of my bones / Receive me now, my lone, my Lucifer.
