Birch Ballad - Live

I set out one morning to go and find your life
For it was my intention to one day be your wife
Well, it was my intention to have you as my own
And so I made a road to you and came that way alone

I knew, to be completely yours, that everything should go
So I undressed and stood there in the cold and falling snow
Yes, I undressed and made my parents too ashamed of me
To ever love what I once was, what I am to be

You can see me through the window, you can see me in the dark
You gently pull the curtain too, and vivisect your heart
All the hatred that you feel for you is equalled only by
The love that curles here rising in the hollow of my eye

Will we meet, and will we speak, and will I be your life?
The wind it makes my flower weep, and the rain it cuts my mind
I'm eating you, I'm feeling you, your old life it is gone
Because I made a road to you and went that way alone
Yeah, because I made a road to you and went that way alone
