Josienne Clarke - Only Me Only

Live on the turn of the tide
Ever to burrow but never to hide
Always the tears in the edge of my eyes
Delivering truth of the live and let lie

Rivers that never run dry
Fed from this bleeding heart of mine
Suffer the scratching thorn in my side
Ever the itching of precious pride

Lament of the lonely
The lost all along
Only me only can carry them on
This heart is so heavy I wish I was strong
Only me only the only one

The left of the living
In suffering song
The weft of the weaving, perceiving it strong
The burning and stinging in heat from the sun
Forever in turning for never undone

The tide in the morning is nearly gone
Its lilting and leaving till back it comes
The birds are all winging the dawn is done
It’s only me singing the only one
