Drink Deep Songtext
von Florence + the Machine

Through bramble and briar
Under ash and oak
I went to find the hidden folk
They gave me gowns and riches
Cut gold thread with their teeth
Every night I went to see them
No I did not sleep
And every cup they brought to me
Oh you know I did

Drink deep
Drink deep


My eyes began to hollow
My skin began to fade
What I thought was a night, was a thousand years
What I thought was a sip, was a thousand tears
But still they said drink deep
Drink deep

But the thread that they spun
Was a woman′s hair
And the gowns stitched from her tenderest flesh
And the cup that they brought up to my lips
I realised I drank of myself

Yes it came from me
It was made from me
Still I drank deep
Still I drank deep
