Come on skinny love just last the year
Pull me a little closer now you're here
My love, my darling, my dear

Didn't I tell you to be patient?
My words are not always kind
They can drip from my tongue
Vinegar and wine

Come on skinny love, nothing to fear
Unwrap those shadows you keep near
My love, my darling, my dear

I hear you calling, silver whispers in the night
My voice strains to answer, words yet take flight
Begging winds carry messages to you
Gentle breeze, edged in violet hue

Didn't I tell you to be patient?
My words are not always kind
They drip from my tongue, 
Vinegar and wine
