Lyrics
Dry and papery, ruby so terrible
Sweet and secret, let nobody know
Broken open and scattered on the table
Another year over and another shoot grows
Dark and delicate,
I'll try to keep you all to myself
For nobody else
With a paper laid out on the table beside you
And a pool of ink that dripped down to the floor
Blood had broken and I wanted you more
Dark and delicate,
I'll try to keep you all to myself
For nobody else
Sprouted seeds turned to shoots, grew some roots
Wound around from my eyes to my mouth
Sweet and sinful now let them all call you
Grow so quietly that no one will know
Dark and delicate,
I'll try to keep you all to myself
For nobody else
Went to be but you got in my head
No red fruit just a shell and a stone
Caught myself speaking only to please you
Another year over and another shoot grows
Dark and delicate,
I'll try to keep you all to myself
