… And bind me to you
I don’t care what you do
I ran to the fire
“Fire purify me”
The fire licked my skin
But it did not set me free
I turned to the bottle
“Alcohol cure me
Let me sleep without dreaming”
Alcohol lied to me …
I spoke to the forest
I spoke to the trees
I spoke to the river
But it did not speak to me
I carved your name
In the cypress tree bark
I tattooed your name
In a ring round my heart
I wore out my welcome
I wore out myself
I wore out my reason
I wore out my health
I forgot my name
On the day that you came…
And bind me to you
I don’t care what you do
