You were just a boy,
I was twenty-five,
we stepped off a bridge,

crashed into the sky

We were looking for the dark

Soon we found the light
We went back to your room
$#&@ed our misery dry

and said goodbye

Fields of Blackberries

numb inside our tongues
we started to run
She stands brightly

ready for a fight
the blink of diamonds
in the night


Soon I packed my bags
Took off for the sun

Landed in Manhattan
there I learned to fly


I was just a girl
you were thirty-five
I tripped into your bed on night

You held on too tight

You thought you'd caught me

in your web
as I came whirling by
You cannot hold an idea

Place it between your thigh
But you can try


Fields of Blackberries
numb inside my tongue
I started to run

She stands brightly
ready for a fight
the blink of diamonds

in the night

I see the fear inside your eyes

Satin slips, bodies slide
The forest deep
dense with lies


She'll follow you
through jungle dreams

shred you to the bone
She'll take you to some paradise
But never back home


Fields of Blackberries
numb inside your tongue

You can always start to run
She stands brightly
ready for a fight

the blink of diamonds
in the night


Once I was afraid
Now I'm thirty-one
You ask me was it worth it

Child I've just begun
