lyrics

i was younger when i came to you
you rode on a dolphin tail
magic mist upon the ocean blue
you took my hand and left gray scale

i was swinging from a crescent moon
star drawn monkey bars and soft sand dunes
i was wishing and singing a little tune
you needed a place to sleep and wanted to water me too

so it was
reading palms on the fifty six bus
and tying each other’s shoes
and it was
paper rabbits in my dresser drawer
and nestling into the crook of you

i could cut a collage of the things you did
sweet like the butterscotch on your lips
steady like leaning on you in the metro line
warm like fingers interlaced at night

and you were
wishing me well even when it hurt
and picking me the best fruit
and you were
holding enough for the both of us
peeling and feeding me too

and i hope
a thousand hummingbirds
will carry you where you want to go
and i pray
whatever sea tides come your way
strong legs carry you forward
and sometimes
a quiet sparrow in the corner of my mind
will sing to come home to you
