two reverse - Adrianne Lenker

Lay me down so

To let you leave

Tell me lies

I wanna see your eyes

Is it a crime to say

I still need you?

Crime, wanna feed you

Light blue, dark blue, grey

Crimson trail

Straight through, stay don’t stray

Grandmother, Juniper

Tell to me your recipe

Is it a cry I hear

From the deep wood?

Crying, reappear from

The weeds

Light blue, dark blue, grey

Crimson trail

Straight through, stay don’t stray

Through the jail

See the sun

Flat as a knife

Cold and white

To my home, two rivers

Through my home, two reverse

Is it a crime to do

What you ask me to?

Crime
