Wild Things

I was broken, winged, and cast aside

You were sugar cane, crystalized

On the porch swing sipping summer through a straw, in my arms

I was shattered glass and disarrayed

You were moonrise on a sunny day

On the porch swimming through a sea of air

Just sipping there

And I could hope that this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things only go where the wind decides

I curse the ground that rain would never fall

You drop from heaven into open ponds

I fought the feeling till at last the feeling won

And it was done

Well, I can't wash away the dirt

Your eyes see beneath that dusty earth

On the ocean floor filling up the lungs

With your love

And I could hope this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things go only where the wind decides

'Cause I could hope that this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things go only where the wind decides
