Pomegranate

Dry and papery, ruby so terrible
 Sweet and secret, let nobody know
 Broken open and scattered on the table
 Another year over and another shoot grows
 Dark and delicate,
 I'll try to keep you all to myself
 For nobody else
 With a paper laid out on the table beside you
 And a pool of ink that dripped down to the floor
 Blood had broken and I wanted you more
 Dark and delicate,
 I'll try to keep you all to myself
 For nobody else
 Sprouted seeds turned to shoots, grew some roots
 Wound around from my eyes to my mouth
 Sweet and sinful now let them all call you
 Grow so quietly that no one will know
 Dark and delicate,
 I'll try to keep you all to myself
 For nobody else
 Went to be but you got in my head
 No red fruit just a shell and a stone
 Caught myself speaking only to please you
 Another year over and another shoot grows
 Dark and delicate,
 I'll try to keep you all to myself
