lyrics

She held her hands above my hips and knees She was searching for the light and heat in me I closed my eyes to the colors in my mind And she drew lines over me Until we fell asleep One night I think I tried to run away But first I looked inside her door And there was she, awake just for me She wrapped me in her rosy hair and held me there Until we fell asleep She said, If you feel like a child Just come to me I’ll be your guide I know you inside, I know you inside She stayed up all night and she prayed for me She slipped a thread under my door and she Wrapped it round me tight and clenched her eyes with all her might Rocking her body back and forth She doesn’t do that anymore She says, If you feel like a child, Just sit and breathe I’m not your guide The balance isn’t right I had to see her face and tell her why She hadn’t heard from me in quite some time I thought it meant we couldn’t be friends The things she needed I couldn’t provide When she said If you feel like a child You can always sit with me We walk in stride I love you

lyrics

Honey, I could die In your arms To have seen you in this life In this form But if I were to die Right now, You wouldn't have to cry Cuz I've got it all figured out You would melt and surround my body Like a shield, all around me Then I would be free to return to water And I'd puddle up on the kitchen floor Then in the morning, you could soak me up With a rag from the cupboard And ring me out over all our plants In the backyard And they would crane their little necks To drink me up And I would seep into the dirt To feed the worms And we would make the garden grow for you And it would be my greatest joy to be your food Then, honey, when you die Someday You and I will finally combine Into the perfect clay You will return to the earth to find me And you can be sure I'll be waiting, smiling And we will watch the trees grow strong And we'll laugh and say, "Who'd've thought? Who'd've thought Who'd've thought that we're God?"
