Lion, be a father to the night
Lamb, be my dream of an afterlife
Silence, convince the lovers in their sheets to move in mists of effortlessness together as they sleep
I'd shy when I'd see you around
We were here at the same time in the same town
I asked for answers from the ocean waves
'If it's meant to be then it will be,' they said
I wanted you
Bring them in so sweet, those hymns, sing them soft to me
Just like a shepherd of the stray hearts, leaving you whale bones in your front yard and a basket of spearmint on the gate behind your swing, and a white scarf around the cello cart you're always pushing
I wanted you
Magnets find each other and I will be your lover and I will be your lover oh I oh I oh why oh why oh why?
