lyrics

Sister, where you going with spikes on your heels?
Your man’s not worthy of attention
It may be natural, oh it’s what you do best
You ought to move in some other direction
You can touch fire, draw water from stone
Deliver strength into captivity
But all day I see as you smile and you slave
Giving glory to your enemy

God gave you a needle
God gave you a feather
And a rope

Brother, when the time comes will you even make a sound?
Standing on a corner with flowers in your hand
Not that you can’t sing or clench your teeth and fight
There are just some things the world won’t allow you to have
There’s no guarantee if it’s mercy that you want
There’s only one road but it’s endless and deep
Got to go by yourself don’t try to compromise
With anyone whose love drifts away like smoke

Two white horses
Side by side
Goodbye brother
You’ve been sanctified

I’m waiting for something
Another girl and a new skin
Never said it had to make sense
Just get me through the door

God gave us a needle
God gave us a feather
And a rope

Where I’m going now might disappear
Don’t come running if you can’t see me
I do believe it’s three voices that I hear
The wilderness was never empty
One begs forgiveness, one asks for sorrow
One demands my sweet attention
I don’t know how it ever got this far
Guess I made the wrong impression

God gave them a needle
God gave them a feather
And a rope
