I saw a kid on the swing today Asked me if I had any games to play I said let's get married and kill some days Serve out breakfast on a silver tray So I gave that kid my family ring As I continued to sing And that kid wore that fancy ring But forgot something at the bottom of the swing
I went on to another song That kid went back to sing till dawn All of a sudden my heart went wrong I shut my eyes to wait for the storm
The moon it shook beneath my hands It's made of blood I'll still drive across the land It's made of blood
What's your daddy tell you, what'd your daddy say What'd your daddy do before he ran away When you're done on the swing you can still have my ring It's still made of blood
That kid must soon get off that ride Or forever look for somewhere to hide Sit on the beach and wait for the tide Or fill up a void of invisible pride And I'll be patient out on the sea And wait until that beach is free And sneak back behind some tree Waiting until that kid feels me
And one day I'll go to that swing And Ill sit down and ride I'll look down for what the kid didn't bring And see my reflection engraved on a ring
The moon it shook beneath my hands It's made of blood I'll still drive across the land It's made of blood
What's your daddy tell you, what'd your daddy say What'd your daddy do before he ran away When you're done on the swing you can still have my ring It's still made of blood
Tell me the story that isn't true Give away what made me love you I won't be another fool I'm so in love with what is cruel So cruel, so cruel, it made me love you So cruel, so cruel, it made me love you It made me love you..... And when it's all said and done I hope love won't run It's made of blood
