Sacred Ground

Love me like a memory held too long
 Like the need to feel some forgotten song
 Kiss me to chills like there's only me
 Like it's hard to kill the last cottonwood tree
 Love me later when the stars fall down
 A burning light for a wedding gown
 They stole the blood right out of this ground
 They'd still kick a flower when it's down
 Help me trace the scars on mountains
 The sun that sets in a bloody fountain
 Take me home and lay me down
 On the hungry earth (Love me, love me)
 On the sacred ground
 Love me like the breath you held too deep
 Like the need you feel to lay still beneath
 Leave me with teeth marks on my skin
 Like some holy spirit's tryna get in
 Love me like a rumor you can't outlive
 Like the deepest cut you'll ever forgive
 They stole my blood right out of this ground
 They'd still kick a flower when it's down
 Help me trace the scars on mountains
 The sun that sets in a bloody fountain
 Take me home and lay me down
 On the hungry earth (Love me, love me)
 On the sacred ground
