Lyric discussion by Chamoses 

Cover art for Beggar's Prayer lyrics by Emilíana Torrini

She sad about the loss of a loved one (could be another reference to her boyfriend who died some years ago). "the white-shoulder mountains pointed above" is saying that God is the one who took her love away from her. She goes on to tell Him that he dropped her on the side of the road. The "bottle of blood inside of me" could still be referring to God.
