Emiliana Torrini - Animal Games

Your heart is like a dawn
You shape it how you want
I can't stop thinking of
How that makes me want you at all
Now you're playing all these games
That I don't know how to play
Now you say you love me
But next you're going away

So I find new love
Cause that is what I do

Now you're scaring of the dawn
Killing off the sparrow
Howling like a wolf
Poisoning the arrow

You shake the rope I'm walking
Just to catch me when I fall
Turn while I'm still talking
Next time I'll be gone
A red kiss and a letter
That is all you'll find

Now you're scaring of the dawn
Killing off the sparrow
Howling like a wolf
Poisoning the arrow

Now you're creeping in the reeds
Spying like an eagle
Fighting like a rooster
Blood is in the water

Now I'm playing all these games
I'm getting better and better
I'm getting better and better
Yeah, I'm getting better and better

So I find new love
Cause that is what I do
