Scar |
A grey day in February |
Some flecks of white, but mostly brown |
Purple surprises riding in on a nerve |
Begins to excite you before it settles down |
It’s after the knives and the sutures and needles |
I’m left with an arrow that points at my heart |
I call it the seat of my sentimental sorrow |
Gone seems to be one of the sum of my parts |
And the night is cold |
As the coldest nights are |
There’s a wise woman |
She comes from an evening star |
She says: Look for the signs |
You won’t have to look far |
Lead with your spirit and follow |
Follow your scar |
A man I knew once said he wanted to see me |
I said I’d been sick but was on the mend |
I told him a few of the overall details |
He said: That’s too bad |
And he’s never called me again |
What a gift in disguise that poor little puppy |
So scared of misfortune and always on guard |
A big man will love you |
Even more when you’re hurtin' |
And a really big man |
Loves a really good scar |
Cause the dawn breaks |
And it’s breaking your heart |
There’s a wise woman |
She sits at the end of the bar |
She says: Look for the signs |
You won’t have to look far |
Lead with your spirit and follow |
Follow your scar |
A grey day in February |
Some flecks of white, but mostly brown |
The world has tilted but |
The world has expanded |
And the world has turned |
My world upside down |
Cause the night is warm and all full of stars |
There’s a wise woman |
She’s moved right into my heart |
She says: Look for the signs |
You won’t have to look far |
Lead with your spirit and follow |
Follow |
Follow your scar |
English translation of Gaelic: |
Run with the red deer |
And sing with the wind |
The magic lasts |
And meaning will follow |
The scar is God given |
As a sign for your life |
Strength from your ancestors |
And through your own mouth |
Strength from memory |
Like a tree on the wind |
Show me your scar |
And I will make it better |
