Bedouine – Solitary Daughter lyrics

[Verse 1]
With the conviction of the woman you made me
I find
Blades of grass from the island you lent me
I find
On every floor
In every drawer
Though I'm not an island I'm a body of water
Jeweled in the evening a solitary daughter
If picked at by noon
By midnight I'm ruined

[Chorus]
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

[Verse 2]
If each blade of grass was meant here for me
Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me
Who's gonna treat it?
I'm not going to need it

[Chorus]

[Break]
I am a lake
Don't need to be watered
I am an ocean
I don't need to barter

[Interlude] 2x
I play with the moon
My only friend
It pushes it pulls me
I don't pay rent
I don't need the walls
To bury my grave
I don't need your company
To feel saved
I don't need the sunlight
My curtains don't draw
I don't need objects
To keep or to pawn
I don't want your pity
Concern or your scorn
I'm calm by my lonesome
I feel right at home
And when the wind blows
I get to dancing
My fun is the rhythm of air
When it's prancing

[Outro]
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
