When Demeter and Persephone part
It isn’t the end it’s only the start
Walk the perimeter then descend to the heart
Then return again that’s Persephone’s art
Down, down, deep into the darkness
Mother weeps her crystalline tears
Daughter keeps her pomegranate promise
Now go to sleep and settle your fears
(Chorus)
Down, down, deep into the dark soil
Plant the seed in the warm womb of earth
You can reap the harvest of your hard toil
Such is the creed of death and re-birth
(Chorus)
Look, your daughter is dancing with her demons
Look, your mother has let her garden die
Look, the Lady is spinning with the seasons
Look inside if you wanna know why
(Chorus)

First day of school, she’s not your little baby girl
She’s got a whole new world outside of you
You watch her walk away, you want her to run back to say
She’d rather stay home with you, but she’s got other things to do
Let her go, or she’ll be gone before you know
Let her know that you will always let her grow
Let her live, or you’ll have nothing more to give
Let her see, let her be, set her free
Now she’s a teen, that awkward age that’s in between
She wants to show you she’s not immature
You watch her fall in love, you know that she’s not old enough
You’re not above telling her, that does it -- now she’s really sure
(Chorus)
We both know you only want to keep her from pain
She needs your protection you need her affection is that so insane
She’s on her own, you can’t believe she’s fully grown
But she will let you know when you forget
You watch her move away, she takes control of her own fate
She’ll make mistakes you can bet, but she’ll survive if you will let,
oh,
(Chorus)

Don’t tell me what you’re feeling, you’d probably get it wrong
Don’t tell me what you’re thinking, you’ll change your mind before
too long
Don’t tell me what you want to be, don’t tell me what you want from
me
Don’t say you know just take it slow, and show me
Don’t write it in a love song you may forget the tune
Don’t make a proclamation you could regret it all too soon
Don’t tell me you’ll be there for me don’t tell me how you’ll care
for me
Don’t say you’re mine ust take your time, and show me
Show me with your tender touch, show me with your gentle way
Show me by respecting me, protecting me from promises that break
If love is in your tone of voice, well that would be my only choice
Don’t state your plan, just take my hand, and show me
