Wicker Woman

Lyrics: Freya Ridings/Tom Barnes/Peter Kelleher/Benjamin Kohn/Cleo Tighe/Ewan Phillips/Arden Ridings/Catherine Jansen-Ridings/Richard Ridings Music: Freya Ridings/Tom Barnes/Peter Kelleher/Benjamin Kohn/Cleo Tighe/Ewan Phillips/Arden Ridings/Catherine Jansen-Ridings/Richard Ridings I held my breath, I held my tongue To make you feel big and strong You thought you could tear me down And it would mean nothing now for you, for you
You took the air out of my lungs Whispered “you’re weak” but you were wrong Like you could rip the roots from me And I’d just crawl silently From this land, by your hand
I’m a wicker woman put a lighter in my chest Thought I wouldn’t do it I meant every word I said
Ooo don’t test me now I’m burning out I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed Say you love me now Too late somehow I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman, with a Lighter in my chest
I hope you crumble to your knees I hope you watch in disbelief You broke every straw in me I am not your effigy Nor God’s plan, I am no man
I’m a wicker woman put a lighter in my chest Thought I wouldn’t do it I meant every word I said
Ooo don’t test me now I’m burning out I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed
Say you love me now Too late somehow I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman with a lighter in my chest
Woah ooo Woah ooo Ooo don’t test me now I’m burning out I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed Say you love me now Too late somehow I’ve found the fire that I’ve always needed I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman, with a I’m a wicker woman with a lighter in my chest
