THE LIFERS

Lyrics

Laying blessings on this room
before the comfort washes over you
my dear we’ll mind everything
‘til you’ve drifted off to sleep
And our arms
will come and find you,
our arms
will reach and bind you
into a boat I rowed
And I knew you
would come once
I made too many
heartbreaking mistakes
and you would shake them off of
my back and eyelashes
And we’d make bouquets of
our pain
and watch them die away,
watch them die away
and decay into
the soil I grow in,
the soil I grow in
When you lay your hands on a willow
you know
we can bend full circle in a life
and in time I might
I love you even when I wish
I could be you
and I need you even when I’m not
talking to you
I love you even when I wish
I could be you
and I need you even when I’m not
talking to you,
talking to you,
talking about you
in a poem I wrote
A poem I wrote
