Hozier – Cherry Wine Lyrics 11 years ago
Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh but she burns
Like rum on the fire
Hot and fast and angry
As she can be
I walk my days on a wire
This girl either has blue eyes.. or she's got a cold stare and words to match, she doesn't talk sweet to him, but oh she's beautiful , but she's quick to anger so as long as they're together he's got to be careful with his words..(walking on a wire)

It looks ugly, but it's clean,
Oh momma, don't fuss over me. - His mother noticed the way his woman deals with him, and how abusive she is and he knows it looks bad but he's trying to convince his mother that it's not as bad as it may look..so don't worry about me I'm fine,we're fine.

The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine- When his woman is being cruel to him, it's out of love and she's just showing him that he belongs to her, so whether she slaps him or punches him,it's okay because it doesn't happen too often, and it's rare like cherry wine.

Calls of guilty fall on me
All while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully
Just like she throws with the arm of her BROTHER.- This girl is cheating on him, yet he feels bad..and this girl hits like a man..or her words are as painful as a strong powerful hit.

But I want it, it's a crime
that she's not around most of the time.- He doesn't mind the abuse.

Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loves
Like sleep the the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful
I'm all but washed
In the tide of her breathing. This part of the song is so beautiful yet sad at the same time.. the abuser(the woman) is "sorry" when she's cruel to him, she loves him even better the next time they make love.
maybe i'm wrong, but hey
