Bedouine - Solitary daughter

^AWith the conviction of the woman you made me, I find ^ABlades of grass from the island you lent me,

^EOn every floor, ^Din every drawer ^AThough I'm not an island, I'm a body of water ^AJeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter ^EIf picked at by noon, ^Dby midnight I'm ruined

^BmLeave me alone to the books and the radio ^Asnow ^ELeave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing sha^Adow

^AIf each blade of grass was meant here for me ^ASplit apart, sliced, and wedged in for me ^EWho's gonna treat it? ^DI'm not going to need it

^BmLeave me alone to the books and the radio ^Asnow ^ELeave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing sha^Adow

^AI am a lake, I don't need to be watered ^AI am an ocean, I don't need to barter

^EI play with the moon, my only friend ^AIt pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent ^AsusI don't need the walls to bury my grave ^AI don't need your company to feel saved ^EI don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw ^AI don't need objects to keep or to pawn ^AsusI don't want your pity, concern, or your scorn ^AI'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home ^EAnd when the wind blows I get to dancing ^AMy fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing

^BmLeave me alone to the books and the radio ^Asnow ^ELeave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shad^Aow
