Christina S Farm Lyrics - Swanlights - Antony And The Johnsons

i got kissed by a turtle dove 

upon a cold Paris manger 

i was waking up to my love, 

first moment dawning danger 

everything was new 

every sock and shoe 

my face and your face tenderly renewed 

i awoke to find a whiteness inside 

everything did shine, slyly, from each body 

halos from within, diamonds the year in 

as we crossed to where the virgin mary moves over the fields 

here and there, she kneels 

sighing sweet relief upon the prairie 

everything was new 

every sock and shoe 

my face and your face tenderly renewed 

as the rich winds blow, 

kiss each flamingo, 

tussle reckless trains of the wild white horses 

and at night the owl streaks the field and howls 

she sees there's a kitten, stops wind aghast to hear them shudder 

everything was new 

every sock and shoe 

my face and your face tenderly renewed
