October Lyrics - The Crane Wives

Come my dear and be a part of my home 

Missing stitch and flowers on a headstone 

And I will crawl like a sinner to be at your feet 

Should God or the devil ever ask for me. 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Take my word but keep the upper hand 

I know you-- you're the daughter of a lonely man 

Let my hope grow cold and atrophy 

'Cause there is no more room in your heart for me 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Come my dear and drink while the water's still cold 

I am naught but a scar upon your breastbone 

So kiss me quick, steal every secret I keep 

You can have anything you want from me. 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Oh my love, oh my love 

Oh my love, oh my love
