Domestication

Once again, I've been alone too long
 I arrived, thistle-strung
 Built a body from the bone you throw on
 I was cold, I let my hair grow wild
 I shook the dust from my boots
 I hid my teeth beneath the honey jar
 I was born a wolf in woman's clothes
 Shadow-stain, blue and gray
 Tore a hole in every dress I made
 Knit our limbs and trimmed the ivy back
 You let me lie in your bed
 You saw my hunger
 Called it tenderness
 Take me gently
 Make me into somebody easy
 Fables speak and needles stitch
 Oh, I only wanted to be easy
 ♪
 Call to all the low and snowless ones
 Ever dark, ever quiet
 Never barking out loud
 I'll be gone before the dawn kicks up
 I have no patience left
 Won't tuck my tongue into my mouth
 Take me gently
 Make me into somebody easy
 Fables speak and needles stitch
 Oh, I only wanted to be easy
 Ah, to be easy
