You don't sing well
and yet I'd have you sing in my ear,
for hours again
While the
Thump thump thump
of my
Heart heart heart
warms and revives
the resin in that old, wood bed-frame
And the whole thing comes alive
and sprouts branches,
grows leaves and carves
into the space between us,
and well, there ain't much, but
You wouldn't notice 'cause you'd be singing
poorly in my ear.
And I'd be pressed and grasping your hand still,
the shiver, the impossibility.
While the
Thump thump thump
of my
Heart heart heart
warms and revives
the resin in that old, wood bed-frame
And the trunk it shoots up
the world is born, and roars
while we, we dangle perilously
The January grey, a woolen coat
of sky around us.
While the
Thump thump thump
of my
Heart heart heart
warms and revives
the resin in that old, wood bed-frame
Well, first we're in a bed
and then we're in a tree
and now we're in the sky,
so merrily.
Well stranger things have happened my dear,
let's never come down.
While the
Thump thump thump
of my
Heart heart heart
warms and revives
the resin in that old, wood bed-frame
