In Two The Lament Lyrics

In Two The Lament

Finish up your coffee, love

it's getting cold

let's finish up this fight tonight

before the sun draws neigh and I'm old



Have mercy on me I'm a girl

though I'm cruel and you cry

I won't shiver cause I know how to break a man

I know how to break a man in two



Still you're suffering, my love

o, who's to blame?

you might be tired, but I'm not through fighting the flame



o, by the tiding of my tounge

I lie and sing what can't be unsung

my soul torn in two by the things I say to you

by the things that I say



I know how to break us man, in two
