In still water she lies down Shaking in the press of sunlight We roll into Lexington She shakes off a drop of daylight Water beating up her chest Bleeding down between her knees Rivers in Kentucky flow Between the bluegrass wavy seas But oh, Margery Twist the blade once more inside of me Breathless with anticipation Baited breathers set their hooks Tuck their heads beneith the high grass Lie and wait beside the brooks For instance, pushing slowly through Frustration leading back along The allies of a childhood That will not release us willingly But oh, Margery Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see So dust me off and shut me down I'll dream of where I haven't been Close the door inside my heart and Stuff in the South Atlantic wind I have hollow eyes Haunting only to myself Even so I can't stop calling Great big hollows in myself I took the train from California To the far side of the continent Woke up in Kentucky Where a wedding was about to end I looked up at Anna She turned back to look at me It's best to kill the ones that matter Render blind the ones who see But oh, Margery Takes the blade and walks away from me Oh, Margery Love, like blood, is pouring out of me Oh, Margery My heart wont stop bleeding over me Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind
