00:17She looked like a painting by a pre-raphaelite
00:20With red hair cascading past us loping sad eyes
00:24If Rosetti could've seen how he would've cried
00:27And he didn't have words like mine
00:31Open head tucked into the neck of her father's blue cable
00:35And a fisherman vessel
00:37And I tucked my locks into the collar of my shirt
00:40From time to time to think of her
00:44And I'm everything that she isn't
00:46And I would make myself in her image if I could
00:51If I didn't know better, if I didn't know more
00:58She has a tin belt, building candlelight
01:01Collateral, you, me, all my inadequacies
01:06I spend my life building pedestal
01:09I got the feeling that when it's dark she goes
01:16She dances naked
01:19My body I can never show
01:23She's in a painting
01:26And I'm out of it
01:30And I make things
01:32But she's made out of it
01:35She's made out of it
01:39Out of it
01:42She's made out of it
01:46Out of it
01:49She's made out of it
01:51I once watched as we sat by the stream
01:54A plug, a pink magnolia straight from the tree
01:57Without a care in the world that flower she did eat
02:00So nonchalant speaking to me
02:03And there was a time I was certain
02:06I was sure
02:08She grew faithfully up on her better stall
02:11But here in the dirt
02:13I know her better
02:14I know her more
02:17And I'd be subject to her after
02:19If she ever did know
02:21Those things shaved me after
02:23Into my skin stone
02:24Even she is a patchwork
02:26And how I enjoyed the fall
02:29And I got the feeling
02:32That when it's dark she goes
02:36It's in her nature
02:39Nothing gonna show
02:43She's in a painting
02:46And I'm out of it
02:50And I make things
02:52And she's made out of it
02:55She's made out of it
02:59Out of it
03:02She's made out of it
03:06Out of it
03:08She's made out of it
03:11Red hair talked into a blue sweater
03:15A knit pink magnolia
03:17Petals
03:18Men swear
03:19Bottles
03:20For Helen
03:21But she needs no such defenders
03:24Start writing on her letters
03:28I know her more
03:30I know her more
03:31I know her better
03:31I know her flaws
03:33And I know heaven
03:35I know her more
03:36And I get the feeling
03:38That when it's dark she goes
03:42It's in her nature
03:45It's in her nature
03:46Not any kind of show
03:49She's in a painting
03:52And I'm out of it
03:56And I make things
03:58And she's made out of it
04:02She's made out of it
04:06Water
04:07Water
04:09She's made out of it
04:13Water
04:15She's made out of it
04:20Water
