follows you home you
stand by the window thee
lights off a curtain cracked and
strangers still sear-in
inspecting nook and cranny
hide in the chill cellar
you hear oh wont she find you
crash from above you
sounds from above you
laugh and you cry you laugh
so frightened laughin'-cryin'
creaking on wood steps
earth floor in a tin clavier
that's where your love gets you
makes you ashamed and shaken
tickles and scolds you
flattens and folds you
Am C F C
Dm Am F G
its arms of your father your
king and your great creator
wisdom and cruel power
cruel as a wayward daughter

in not but good intention
serves all of your life
submit and be righteous
so blows up my body cuz
by body souls decides
board up my window cuz
who needs a window when it
storm come at night
none but the steady moving
shake on the hinges
shaking your bones hope
you make me silent hon
with your subservient patience
follow me westward
back whence the power came
climb in my body
fight with my antibody
power and glory
showered with stones so
crouch by the water thee
alluring rapid water
baby might see you
might see your naked cower
stand up and face her
shake her with all your power
follow her closely
follow her home
