Wrapped in the wings of a sparrow
F                      C
Beak is as sharp as an arrow
G                     C   Em
Sings in a whispering whistle
F                     C
Sleeps in the ivy and thistle
G                     C   Em
Owls out swooping and howling
F                      C
Deep in the midnight a-prowling
G                       C  Em
Mama, the scream of the eagle
F                              C
Threading my heart through the needle

Threading the blood through the apple

Eating the seeds of the apple

Bearing the tree of the apple
G                            C   Em
Trapped in the weeds like a scarecrow
F                      C
Stuck to the wind like Velcro
G                     C    Em
Distantly hearing the bell toll
F                          C
Warbling chime through the meadow

Eve sucked the juice from the apple
G                  C   Em
Nakedly running, I saw her
F                     C
Boy chasing after to stall her
  G                       C    Em
I wish I'd have spoken to call her
  F                        C
Before she found fabric to shawl her
G                               C Em
Breasts bound and burdened with fiber
F                      C
Adam came trembling beside her
       C
And he said, and he said
     G                    C   Em
That she has the poison inside her
F                            C
She talks to snakes and they guide her
G                    C    Em
She has the poison inside her
F                            C
She talks to snakes and they guide her
G                    C    Em
She has the poison inside her
F                            C
She talks to snakes and they guide her

She has the poison inside her
F                            C
She talks to snakes and they guide her
