Lyrics P#1: She has a heart as clear as diamonds She has eyes as old as Rome She can swim between my islands Where my water's made of stone She can hold me like a baby And hush my demons to sleep And I know it drives her crazy She's no longer theirs to keep And she knows just how to heal me And she knows just how I break.
She has a heart as clear as diamonds She has eyes as old as Rome She can swim between my islands Where my water's made of stone She can hold me like a baby And hush my demons to sleep And I know it drives her crazy She's no longer theirs to keep And she knows just how to heal me And she knows just how I break And she knows not how to believe me It takes years to know a snake She has legs as brave as islands And she'll stand with me alone Though it pains within her body She'll cover mine if I get stoned
Lyrics P#2: But she knows not how to believe me it takes years to know a snake she has legs as brave as islands. And she'll stand with me alone though it pains within her body She'll cover mine if I get stoned
She can swim between my islands where my water's made of stone She can hold me like a baby and hush my demons to sleep And I know it drives her crazy, she's no longer theirs to keep And she knows just how to heal me And she knows just how I break ♥
I'm pretty sure this guy posting all of these has some sort of VIP connection to this stuff :) Must be leaks of something, as I've never heard these songs before either :-/ I'm happy he's posting it though!!! Cheers
This song was long before that. "9" era. It actually sounds even more like "Baby Sister" a song he wrote around the time of "O". Both BTHM and that are very Leonard Cohen influenced which is probably why you note the chord similarity.
