lyrics

oh love can I hold you,
in a portrait of enamel?
snow kept smooth behind fences
will still fall to the light,
when morning comes burning,
see your teeth scattered white,

all that remains
what never changed
last thing to decay
under each day

oh do I
want you as a piece of scrimshaw,
etched and treasured, wrapped in velvet
never touched
always trusted, waiting for me in the dark,
do I do I do I do

oh love, what have I told you?
can't you see my mouth is open
the river that runs through me
knows nothing of your fear
it will keep on flowing
notches in all my bones

washing me new 
changing my face
even though I stay 
for each new day

you will not
take my teeth and wear them as a crown,
proud and spotless, uneroded 
please hold me 
as I change, flicker in the current's flame
please do please do please do please 

I am made of harder stuff than snow 
but I must go where it must go
