The Summer Tree

(Jes Perry)
Monster of Love come clip my spreading wings
Bind me to that post
To the Summer Tree

Horned spirit snakes entwined
The serpent’s kiss is on your wrists
Love makes me blind

Tie me to the Summer Tree and let me be reborn
There's death in this dare, the taste of the dying
Starving, parched and twisted open

Feel the saving rain lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me
Breaking me, gripping me, touching me

Scrape me raw turn me outside in, expose the other me
The innocent ghost of a chance to be reborn with the earth

Oh faithless goddess of the moon let your arrow pierce my broken heart
Bind me forever in love

Tie me to the Summer Tree and let me be reborn
There's death in this dare, the taste of the dying
Starving, parched and twisted open

Feel the saving rain lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me
Breaking me, gripping me, touching me

Oh but you're not a god you're just a man
In touch with thought and emotion
Commanding spirits, fingertips of light

Feel the saving rain lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me
Breaking me, gripping me, touching me

I am reborn in love another day
Waiting for fate's chance and choice I'm tied
To the Summer Tree
Tied to the Summer Tree
Tied to the Summer Tree
I'm tied to you
