The Collector - Cathy Davey

All mine, when the body wakes up

All mine, when the body falls down

You won’t sleep when you lie with me

Knuckle and bone come rattle at the window

All mine, gall and liver

All mine, bony rib and marrow

All the dreams you long to keep

Were part of the deal when you came to borrow

The collector is collecting

And delivering to me

Oh, you think we’ve got it all

But there’s no guarantee

All mine, all mine

All mine, the song your mother wrote you

All mine, everything of value

All hope you lay aside

Saved for the day no hope lies in you

All mine, joy and libido

Mine mine, plans for tomorrow

The heart you smuggled away

That beat so fast when we did our little handshake

The collector is collecting

And delivering to me

Oh, you think we’ve got it all

But there’s no guarantee

All mine, all mine

You won’t sleep when you lie with me

Body will be gone but the mind won’t follow

This heart you long to keep

Knuckle and bone come rattle at the window
