lyrics

Ever-changing and revealing itself
In every maiden lay a prophetess
The dark and comely wisdom of a queen
Like a moonbow in a new sundress yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Marry Mary Magdalene
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll

Holy vision given woman
Dreaming dreams and I believe them

Eighty summers in your natural born life
Countless lovers, but you only get one wife
And when your sun sets, whether good or bad
Did you love her, did you do your best yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Calpernia saw it in a dream
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll
Jump my bones
I'll make your eyes roll
