Ivy x The Albatross mashup by Taylor Swift
Lyrics:
How’s one to know
I’d meet you where the spirit meets the bones
In a faith forgotten land
In from the snow
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
Tarnished but so grand
And the old widow goes to the stone everyday
But I don’t, I just sit here and wait
Grieving for the living
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it’s been promised to another
Oh, I can’t
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone and your ivy grows
And now I’m covered in you
Wise men once said
One bad seed kills the garden
One less temptress
One less dagger to sharpen
Locked me up in towers
But I visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She’s the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Devils that you know
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She’s the death you chose
You’re in terrible danger
Clover blooms in the field
Spring breaks loose
The time is near
What would he do if he found us out?
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
He’s gonna burn this house to the ground
And when that sky rains fire on you
And your persona non grata
I’ll tell you how I’ve been there too
And that none of it matters
How’s one to know
I’d live and die for moments that we stole
On begged and borrowed time
So tell me to run
Or dare to sit and watch what we’ll become
And drink my husband’s wine
Oh and I tried to warn you about them
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Spread my wings like a parachute
I’m the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
Looks now more like an angel
And now I’m covered in you, in you
I’m the life you chose
And all this terrible danger
(Now I’m covered in terrible danger)
So cross your thoughtless heart
She’s the albatross
She is here to destroy you
