So Sweetly

I watched her sleep from the driver's seat

And she turned into an ocean spitting fish into my sea

Oh how she flickered to remain so young and innocently sweet

And how the sevrets in her belly wrestle softly for her keeping

Like the ring that left her finger green

And like the knife that set her shivering body free

Or like the knot she tied to so sweetly around me

We were aware of our boundaries

Someday I'll meet you on a telephone wire

Won't have to love you through a prayer

I can just touch you with my eyes and

We will talk about the world just as if we were still alive

And you will rest within my feathers

And I will have you for the keeping

And you will fly

so sweetly

around me

And you'll teach me to fly

So sweetly

Around you

And you will fly

so sweetly

around me

And you'll teach me to fly

so sweetly

around you

And if you talk to Jesus

Ask him if he wants me to come home

And if he says he's seen us changing all his plans to suit our own

Will you apologize and stand behind the selfish moves we've made

While learning life is strange

And people change then circle around again
