lyrics

deep in the dark
in the woods of my heart
everyone stays away
nothing is free
I'm alone as can be
molding my love from clay

acorns for eyes
lay down while she dries
a stick in the dirt to trace
the curve of a lip
the shape of a hip
already forgetting her face

oh, my love
what have I done?
cold in my hands
so hard in the sun
towering up from out of the weeds
alone as you wanted to be

the cold's coming on
there's ice on the pond
the willows defeated and nude
the crow dips and dives
an ink stain on the sky
like sorrow's vicissitudes

I hate her so well
that it's easy to tell
been practicing in the mirror
"don't want you or need you
don't know or believe you
but god I wish you were"

oh, my love
you've got it all wrong
it won't happen soon
but it won't be that long
towering up from out of the sea -
a statue you built of me
