Pomegranate - Ye Vagabonds

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

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 bed 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, another shoot grows

Dark and delicate

I’ll try to keep you

All to myself
