She has a heart as clear as diamonds
She has eyes as old as Rome
She can swim between my islands
Where my water's made of stone
She can hold me like a baby
And hush my demons to sleep
And I know it drives her crazy
She's no longer theirs to keep
And she knows just how to heal me
And she knows just how I break
And she knows not how to believe me
It takes years to know a snake
She has legs as brave as islands
And she'll stand with me alone
Though it pains within her body
She'll cover mine if I get stoned
