Auburn and Ivory

Once when I saw her there
White light, she stood so still.
Warming her eyes to the sea.
Hardly her way to be free.

Auburn and Ivory.
Heartbreak and and fairy tales.

Holding her bones by the fire.
Writing the letter she saves.
White page turns gold her lines.
Wanting her one sacrifice.

Auburn and Ivory.
Heartbreak and fairy tales.

Come to me and
I'll tell you what's wrong.
She says
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you.

That's when I saw her there.
White light, she stood so still.
White page turns gold her lines.
Hardly her one sacrifice.

Auburn and Ivory.
Heartbreak and fairy tales.
