Listen up close Listen here now Let me lay something on you What if I told you you’re just a ghost You’re just a fleeting apparition of solitude What if I said from your heels to your head From your limbs to your chin to your ego You’re an animal now A wolf on the prowl You can be anything you want if you let go
It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten That you let run dry Find it in the air so scarce and fair In all you deny
Life is a struggle Love is a rose Growing steady under my eyelids Love is the rubble through which I row To get safely to your island And you are the sky My will to survive You are the chain gang keeping my blood pumping You are the repetition The superstition You are the proposition keeping my sails thumping
It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten That you let run dry Find it in the air so scarce and fair In all you deny You see it in the seeds of the love you bleed All over the ground It’s in the stones in the marrow in the bones It’s all around
Darling you keep my soul from falling Darling when I hear your voice a-calling me Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my heart Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my thoughts too
