From the recording More Than Human (2006)
Lyrics
Claim Upon My Time
What you doing baby at my door
What you doing baby
Doing at my door
While you draw breath
You’re not welcome here no more
Why have you perturbed my sense of peace
Why have you perturbed
Perturbed my sense of peace
While you draw breath
I will not find release
Baby baby I’m down to hair and bone
Baby baby I’ve come so low
I’m down to hair and bone
You still draw breath
I’m down here on my own
I was whole
Now I’m half
When I cried
You laughed
You laughed
Six tears are your claim upon my time
You bring me six wet tears
As your claim
Your claim upon my time
Your tears won’t wash
They burned my skin like lime
What you doing baby at my door
What you doing baby
Doing at my door
While you draw breath
I don’t welcome you no more
