[Verse 1] Zelma at the edge Of the broken stone Hair like a black tide Falling on her coat That look, that little smirk Like a locked gold room You can ask her twice She still won't say too soon [Pre-Chorus] She knows the road Under the dust She walks like she owns Every old ruin [Chorus] Zelma, Zelma Eyes like a secret Zelma, Zelma I can't read you yet Zelma, Zelma Call it instinct, call it fate You stand so still And change the air [Verse 2] Sleeves rolled to the wrist Boots kissed by the rain A little worn-out grace And a blade of calm The whole world blurred behind Like a story half seen But you stay sharp in frame Like a match in the dark [Pre-Chorus] She knows the road Under the dust She walks like she owns Every old ruin [Chorus] Zelma, Zelma Eyes like a secret Zelma, Zelma I can't read you yet Zelma, Zelma Call it instinct, call it fate You stand so still And change the air [Bridge] Maybe you've crossed A thousand lost doors Maybe that smile Means trouble and more Still I lean in To the hush you keep Like the past itself Has a name in your teeth [Final Chorus] Zelma, Zelma Eyes like a secret Zelma, Zelma I can't read you yet Zelma, Zelma Call it instinct, call it fate You stand so still And change the air Zelma, Zelma The mist bends around you Zelma, Zelma And I stay there too
