[Verse 1]

She who walks alone in life, is she of sound mind?

I am only as old as I've been told

Now I'm playing for time

Darling, take me to the lakeside

Wash my body well

I am holy now, the water's hit me

Broken from your spell

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I was on my hands and knees

Bending at the heart of me

[Verse 2]

We don't know the weight of all the words we say now

In a few more years, with open ears

Would you still say them aloud?

They who walk alone in life

They are of sound mind

We can only get hurt by things we've heard

And lovers are unkind

[Chorus 2]

But did you hear the sun go down?

Silent as a child I found

Hiding in the midnight of my soul

I am ready now to let her go

[Verse 3]

She who walks alone in life, is she by herself?

We are only as old as we've been told

And I'm not ready for the shelf

Darling, take me to the lakeside

Lay my body down

I am holy now, our skin is touching

Let the sun go out

[Chorus 3]

I am on my hands and knees

Bending at the heart of me

Hiding in the midnight of my soul

Please don't break this shell that I call home
