Protection

two steps inside me i taste you 
in comfort and peace my love 
holy and sacred 

autumn leaves all over 
come down and reign 
ivy climbing your neck 
calm down and stay 
with me my love 
all around 

bring me the light that i seek 
cleanse my charred hands 
unveil your protection 
upon my forehead 

these blood stained hands are tired 
i must rest my head on your shoulder 
as the angels do on tombstones 
protection, protection, protection
