lyrics

Did you come out here to find me crawling the
far hills naked?
Cause even your reproach clothes me
in a millefleurs raiment
You would've fed me daily
from your windowsill
I kept it vacant
So you hung around like suet in the snow
Even then
You were waiting

cuz yours is the heart
ours were meant to be knit to
so you wove yourself into the weave we knew
At your garments edge we were unraveling
every flower in our crown kept withering
Until you hemmed us in behind and before
Back in the embroidery of
yer millefleurs
Come on, bring us back in to the embroidery of
yer millefleurs
Come on, bring us back in to the embroidery

and in overflowing tenderness
you've tended
the garden we were given charge of
we leased it out, and tenants bled it
and by rights you could let us die by night outside its hedges
but you are patient as a fountain in a park
where a bridegroom waits for his wedding

yours are the arms we were meant fall into
where everything false about us just falls right through
to your garment's edge we come staggering
our incurable wound kept us asking for who can hem us in behind and before
Back in the embroidery of yer
millefleurs
So come on, bring us back in to the embroidery of
yer millefleurs
So come on, bring us back in to the embroidery

I was there on the speartip, you were a candle lit,
Piercing the darkness
That I survived the impact, when our lives crashed, like intended targets
Is a cause for wonder and now I rest in beds of obedience
And you cast my sins on the winds that blow
The very farthest

Yours is the voice all the world comes home to<<
The holy one with whom we have to do
Around your garment's edge the seas are gathering
and swallows and seraphim are swarming
Yet you've drawn near to us, in human form
Marvelous! Are your works O Lord

So come on, bring us back
So come on, bring us back in
So come on, bring us back in to the embroidery
yer millefleurs
So come on, bring us back in to the embroidery
