PJ Harvey - I Inside the Old Year Dying

Lwonesome Tonight

Hark the greening of the earth
Curled ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl

Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day

In her satchel, Pepsi fizz
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready, her bready-lips

Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
"Love me tender" are his words
As I've loved you, so you must

Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss
My love, will you come back again?
