You Don't Need Lyrics - Singles - Jane Siberry

I think it is the hardest 

when I see you look at her 

in a way I thought was only 

meant for me --- inspired by me 

and my heart is black and heavy 

it is slags of Merthyr Tydfil 

and it heaves once 

and then it sighs once 

and then there's nothing more 

so I walk on through the marshes 

and my cheeks are burning white 

and my hood is your rejection 

and my pain is your connection 

and a bird I don't recall 

called don't recall 

called don't recall 

and I know you must be there 

because people stop to talk to you 

you don't need... 

and the wind howls cross the ice floes 

and the frozen furrows quicken 

as I stumble to the tundra 

and the tundra is my lover 

and I lie here 

and I wait here 

and I raise one arm unto the sky 

and if I raise it high enough 

and hold it long enough 

will the snow pull me back through? 

and it's Beddgelert and frozen dirt 

the snow a soothing, smoothing, soothing hand 

you don't need.... 

so I ate a star from the far back, black sky 

and it floated up behind one eye and wavered there...
