Valentine's Song

I'm an orphan before I'm a son

and I'm nothin' if I am just one

but if we were two, I tell you what I'd do

I'd lay you down and blow out the sun.

And the moon is a fool for our kind

as I find you and we intertwine

soft lover's prayer, toss your hair

to let me know you are all mine.

But there's a branch in your mind a-bendin'

like a killer that ain't worth defendin'

like a thousand years of progress and tears

have now all come to their endin'.

I hold you to my chest like a charm

I hold you to keep you warm

and you are so small, you're like nothin' at all

like you were born to be in my arms.
