jane siberry – take me to my tent lyrics
[verse 1]
take me to my tent, i am so tired
take me to my tent, i am on fire
take my horse away
give him fresh water and the sweetest hay
i almost lost my faithful today
[chorus]
send a girl to my tent
let her voice be low and well+modulated
let no harshness thrall my ears tonight
[verse 2]
take me to my tent, i am so tired
my eyes are burning, my throat is parched
my sword arm heavy from the march
i spent all day on the white hot plains
guarding all of my terrain
[verse 3]
i heard a sound in the birdsong
i saw a sign in thе morning dew
i knew today would be thе day
that i would be the hero true
[chorus]
send a girl to my tent
let her hands be soft and cool
have her wash my aching body
and get the small of blood out of my nose
[verse 4]
i waited ’til i saw them rise
above the crest, the whites of their eyes
i kicked my horse forward
he was coming at me
leading his army
my mortal enemy
[verse 5]
i surprised him with speed
my sword hit its mark
but as he fell to the ground
my horse stumbled
i tumbled upon him
we lay breast to breast
we lay there like lovers
and what happened then i cannot say
[verse 6]
i scrambled up from his bl++dy breast
i flung myself upon my horse
i let out a cry to end all cries
the rage in my heart that day
i remember it still
[verse 7]
i must have k!lled a hundred men
and so they’ll say in minstrel song
i will go down in history
a hero of brotherhood gone wrong
[chorus]
send a girl to my tent
but there must be no s+x tonight
for surely a single kiss would draw a child
[verse 8]
and when i’ve rested i will join
my men around the ring of fire
the sparks fly up, the stars fall down
we draw our plans upon the ground
[verse 9]
no suicide shall keep me
from this game of cards i chose
the general is lonely
but this is his job and thusly
he accepts
