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?"
