Said The Whale The Gift Of A Black Heart lyrics

You are, the girl with the black heart.
You are, the star; you are the girl, with the bright light, yeah.
I see it shine,

You'll find yourself, wrapped up in a black art.
You bare the scars, you are the girl with the black heart, yeah.
I see it shine,

I watch your sun set;
And then you lift the moon into a sky on fire,
And the colors that you choose, to court and spark, oh.
To ignite the dark,
Burn it up in the bright light,
Of your black heart; your black heart

Check the coat above your shoulders,
And your bones; harden in the breeze.
Bellowing smoke white ghosts,
Are both ribbons and through the shivering, leave.


You breathe a big wind,
You sing of ice and snow
Shutting up them hungry dogs

You go and bury there bones,
You paint the bright white; in the shadows
Burning up in the bright light,
Of your black heart; your black heart.

And I want you to believe everything that I say.
And I want you to believe in the good that you do, yeah
And the beauty of the black heart, is the light shining through
And the light is you
And the light is you
And the light is you.
