Can't give it words, my baby
where the aching runs too deep
there are no words, my baby
for what's tangled up beneath.

Some sorrow is tucked inside your bones
and you carry it
oh you carry it

Some sadness just must be borne alone
I won't bury it
I will carry

The place where the wild wood violets grow
a place that's dark and warm
too tender for anyone to know, to know

Don't ask for words, my baby
'cause the silence runs too deep
there are no words, my baby
where the truth is mine to keep.

There's a spring from which the hidden waters flow
and they carry me
oh they carry me
moves through my blood and it makes itself at home
it won't bury me
I will carry

The place where the wild wood violets grow
a place that's dark and warm
too tender for anyone to know, to know

Some sorrow is tucked inside your bones
and you carry it
oh you carry it
some sadness is meant for you alone
I won't bury it
I will carry

The place where the wild wood violets grow
a place that's dark and warm
too tender for anyone to know, to know
Don't ask for words.
