Pruning the Vine
I've been pruning the vine, steering my plough Doing all of the things I never knew how Riding horseback, a cavalcade to flutes With you riding pillion in patent leather boots
Scarecrow stands like an archer when seeds are sown At the harvest of acorns we'll see what has grown I've been haymaking, harvesting grapes You've only to answer to bend me out of shape
I've been carrying grass, sifting grain into a sack Searching through books of hours for the time I lack On the road to the chateau, dressed only in red Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You carry a basket upon your head
What history can't vandalise I will evangelise A Pagan martyrdom Or what we've become?
Falcon waits upon gloved fist, by sickle and scythe On the lips of a first kiss I wait for it to fly You dance round the montjoy now the river runs cool You're nobody's mistress, nobody's fool
