because everywhere you go is home
you can leave at the first light
and lead the miles on your own
she said Cherry set the fire
with nothing there to put it out
then she burned all the world to ashes
to see if she could feel anything
light your match, love, i know you tried
nothing lasts but time
they're all leaves and no trees
they'll ride backward, you'll see
dressed up in ribbons and disease
so if your purity is all that you can afford, dear
i'll call it even if you give it to me
there's no place i'd rather be
but you're the one you're waiting for
wrapped up in gold and pearls
then you're dragged down to find you're
meant for the empty world
StarChild, shine on
you'll find the mark of Thorn is everywhere you are
new waves ride out
crowned, wedded, left, and then she's buried in the ground
and old rain dries
but for the first time i was sure that Cherry found me again
