Florence + The Machine Perfume and Milk

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Perfume and milk
Body and bloom
The falling leaves
Falling fruit
The rot and ruin
The earth and the worms
The seasons change
The world turns
Trees turn grey and the land turns brown
And a house in the woods on the edge of town
Bury it deep
Swallow it down
Taking the hurt
Wears a loyal crown
Doing the work and sleeping alone
Downloading revelations divine, love on my phone
Trying to read, but getting distracted
Trying to live, but feeling so damaged

[Chorus]
And all shall be well
All shall be well
Miracles are often inconvenient
And a prayer is a spell

[Verse 2]
I packed my bags and I got in the car
A pilgrimage to wherever you are
April comes with its blossoms
Beaten by rain
Oh, the hope and the horrow singing daffodils again
The land, it thaws
And the leaves turn green
And the blue stars of snow glory
Is with the winter jasmine
Clothes of silk and satin
Lace and leather
The one pink ribbon that holds me together

[Chorus]
And all shall be well
All shall be well
Miracles are often inconvenient
And a prayer is a spell

[Verse 3]
And I am changing, becoming something else
A creature of longing, tending only to myself
Licking my wounds, burrowing down
In a house in the woods on the egde of town
Well, healing is slow
It comes and it goes
A glimpse of the sun in a flurry of snow
The first green shoots in a sudden frost
Oh, something’s gained when something’s lost
The rot and the ruin
The earth and the worms
The seasons change
The world turns
The world turns

[Outro]
Perfume and milk
Body and bloom
The falling leaves
The falling fruit
The rot and ruin
The earth and the worms
The seasons change
The world turns
The world turns
The world turns
The world turns
