Wicked Blood

We met in the east
 Poured in like a flood
 You're the whispering kind
 Dark sapphire blood
 You're a vision of veils
 All shimmery white
 Like a backdrop of sails
 All aglow from the light
 Of the wonder behind
 At a starry night
 In the mountain's song
 In the blue jay's call
 My heartbeat flows
 In crystal water falls
 You were so beautiful
 In your elegant bed
 You'd have my blues
 For your Nantucket reds
 I'd wait in the dark
 Balanced on a thread
 So I'd wait in the dark
 Balanced on this thread
 And under the church-light
 You stand there
 With your wicked blood and your curls
 Yeah, under the church-light
 You stand there
 In your fur and your pearls
 These lines were here
 Long before we came around
 Yeah, these lines were here
 And there's an ember in the rafters
 And it's going to bring this whole thing down
 In the neon mist
 I heard you breathe
 An exquisite sound
 Some secret symphony
 Your silken skin
 My fingers rough
 In the midnight dim
 We went home and touched
 Beneath the chandeliers
 And your Persian's dust
 Beneath your chandeliers
 And your Persian's dust
 And under the church-light
 You stand there
 With your wicked blood and your curls
 Yeah, under the church-light
 You stand there
 In your fur and your pearls
 These lines were here
 Long before we came around
 Yeah, these lines were here
 And there's an ember in the rafters
 And it's going to bring this whole thing down
