Rocks and Water

Seven times I went down
 Six times I walked back
 And I don't fear the dark anymore
 'Cause I'm become all that

 I will be rocks, I will be water
 I will leave this to my daughter:
 Lift your head up in the wind
 When you feel yourself grow colder
 Wrap the night around your shoulders
 And I will be with you even then
 Even when I cannot see your face anymore

 Don't forget the time
 I wooed him with red wine
 The devil he wore such a fine, fine shirt
 And it stayed so clean while he dragged me through the dirt
 Now, honey, don't trust anyone who looks you in the eye
 Don't take any kindness, it's a demand in disguise

 I have seen such things child
 On this, and the other side
 Words cannot show you
 The midnight owl it does not know you
 You will see for your sweet self
 By and by

 And I will be rocks, I will be water
 I will leave this to my daughter
