PJ Harvey - Lwonesome Tonight Lyrics

PJ Harvey Lyrics

"Lwonesome Tonight"

Hark the greening of the eth
Curl-ed ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl

Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day

In her satchel, Pepsi fizz
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready
Her bready-lips:

Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?
"Love Me Tender" are his words
As I loved you, so you must

Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss
My love, will you come back again?
