Fm
With quill and silver knife

                    Bbm
She carved a poison pen

                      Fm
Wrote to her lover's wife:

C                              Fm
"Your husband's seed has fed my flesh".
As if a leper's face That tainted letter graced The wife with choke-stone throat Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes. [Interlude] Fm Abm Bbm Fm Fm Abm Bbm Variations on Fm [Verse] Impaled on nails of ice And raked with emerald fire The wife with soul of snow With steady hands begins to write: "I'm still, I need no life To serve on boys and men What's mine was yours is dead I take my leave of mortal flesh" ------------------------------------------- Lublin, Poland 18.08.09
