Ivy Raincoat from Nutshell by Elisa Over and the Leaves

“IVY RAINCOAT”

I AM THE LADY WHO WALKS IN THE WOODS
WIND IS MY HAIRBRUSH, SUN IS MY COMB
RIVERS MY SHOWER, BRANCHES MY COVER
I AM THE LADY WHO’S WEARING THE LEAVES

NO ONE WILL DARE TO FOLLOW MY PATH
WHAT DO I LEARN? WHAT DO I OWN?
NATURE IS TALKING TO ME AND I KNOW
SHE IS MY MOTHER AND I’M NOT ALONE

I AM THE LADY WHO LIVES IN THE WOODS
THIS LIFE I’VE CHOSEN, TO THIS I BELONG
AN INFINITE WORLD IS WELCOMING ME
DAY AFTER DAY A LOT I RECEIVE
DON’T TRY TO SCARE ME

DON’T DARE TO CATCH ME
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT

THEY CALL ME INSANE AND THEY CALL ME “WITCH”
THEY GIVE ME NAMES I CANNOT REPEAT
SCARED BY MY GAZE, ANNOYED BY MY PURENESS
HUMANS CONDEMN THOSE WHO WON’T GRATIFY THEM

BEHIND THE SHADOWS, WHAT DO I SEE?
COLORS AND LIFE, DEATH AND RELIEF
TREES HIDE MY BODY BUT ENRICH MY SOUL
UNTIL MY LAST DAY LEAVE ME ALONE

DON’T TRY TO SCARE ME
DON’T DARE TO CATCH ME
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
I SHELTER MYSELF IN MY IVY RAINCOAT
