Patrick Wolf – Better or Worse Lyrics

Folk

Heaven calling
Your maiden name through the howling
Flooding plain
Where you buried your hooden horse
After betrayal, before divorce
Handbells wait to chime
The day you both come back to life

It gets better, it gets worse
It's a blessing and it's a curse
What is it? Is it yours to say?
You're going to know once it's taken away

And the ever and after sings
Through the July Leucocoryne
"Power forgot ain't power lost"
So nail your Brigid cross to the door
Sun, rain, soil, air
Into the arms
Hey, yes, you beyond repair

It gets better, it gets worse
It's a blessing, oh, it's a curse
What is it? Is it yours to say?
You're going to know once it's taken away
It gets better, it gets worse
Now step your wounded foot first

Trace to the sky
My painter's brush
When the wild winds around you rush
You can't break a vow
You don't want to take
But how far can the willow bend before it breaks, boy

Hmm
Hmm
For better or worse?
Hmm

It gets better, it gets worse
It's a blessing, it's a curse
What is it? Is it yours to say?
You'll know when it's taken away

I hurl this hex out to Lomea
The guns of August Mutineer
