I made you a flag out of leaves and grass, I made you a map out of modern glass We were young, and we still are We were cold, and it was dark The tide came running one night He erased our names from the sand Our hands were black from putting out the fire Talked about boys who dance in white In our neighbourhood the houses were old, The trees were young, and the summer sea was cold Because of the blood, I wash my face in the mud Now i'm someone new Now i don't look like you I sit by the trees that had no leaves, Let the snow seep into me, And there's no leaves, but that's the way it was supposed to be That's the way you could feel our hands Were black when we were putting out the fire Talked about you, you dance in white, you dance in white I pull your hair in the kitchen where the night was burnt?? And we were never coy Because of the blood I wash my face in the mud Now i'm someone new Now i don't look like you
