Would that I hozier Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
Under garden and calicos
Over canopy dabbled long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felt 'fore the fight, the call
Friendly fire, but that was long ago
[Chorus]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
Fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I could lose, I was never the same
Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Lay in waste of my lovin' long ago
[Chorus]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the wood that I'd loved is long ago
[Chorus]
And that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Oh, your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

Hey guys! I write music too and was wondering if you could check out this song I wrote It's called "Thinkin Bout You" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXTbc3RredujhZI Let me know what you think. Thanks (:

Hozier is one to today’s best singer song writers. So much meaning & passion in his lyrics & singing.

[@lapillity]

this is one of my favorites if not my favorite song on the album, I've been listening to it on repeat constantly. the lyrics are so beautiful

[@alecedmisten7639]

It is incredible for me I think shrike still holds number 1 but this is such a close second

[@Malaima]

YES. That was me some months ago, when it came out. LOVE IT SO DAMN MUCH. And I have a feel that it will never get old, and that, at 60 years-old, I will still be able to feel its shivers and its powers and its flames, and to dance and stomp the ground with my feet, maybe along with my children - whom for now I don't have, and whom by then will be 30 years-old... I love you so much Melia, even if I do not know you, for being sensitive to this song...!!! ........ It inspired so many memories in me.

Actual lyrics since there are some mistakes in here: True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Willow dancing on air before covering me Under cotton and calicos Over canopy dapple long ago True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felled for to fight the cold I fretted fire but that was long ago And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Of your blinding light (Oooh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat Settle soft and as pure as snow I fell in love with the fire long ago With each love I cut loose I was never the same Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Laying waste to my loving long ago But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Of your blinding light (Oooh) And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright, honey (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame Long as amber of ember glows All the would that I loved is long ago And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Of your blinding light (Oooh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to Oh, you're good to me You're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby

oh, it actually makes more sense now

[@real_BryMan]

@@rs-mt6kl I think he's comparing his lover to a tree, the "saw" was a fight but the fire, is the make up. That's why he worships the flame..

[@silviac221]

Exactly. To begin with, "Oh but you're good to me" is infinitely better than "Hope that you're good to me", and it's a lot more what Hozier would write.

[@josephgarcia9076]

This! I couldn’t figure out why I love this song so much but this is it. Cherry Wine was so comforting to me until I paid attention to the lyrics and realized it was about abuse. It’s still a beautiful song but I could never take the same comfort in it. This is the joyous version. That makes so much more sense.
