Dear One Lyrics
Where did you come from, bright star?
What heaven did you leap from, dear love?
How can I spell your name,
Without the sound of autumn beneath my tongue?
Without acknowledging the lovers who bent me in half?
Bless them for bringing me to you
How can I say your name without
Also breathing the words, my God, I found you?
How can I ever speak again with this mouth
When it has found where it belongs?
When you touch me I am a bed of calla lilies
I will make a house for you and fill it with evergreens
I will paint sunsets on every wall so you can only see beautiful things
How can I say "love" without wanting to fold myself into you,
Like a thousand paper cranes?
Dear one, I was halved the moment I was born
The other piece of me is inside of your mouth
And I was found whole the moment you spoke
What heaven did you leap from, dear love?
How can I spell your name,
Without the sound of autumn beneath my tongue?
Without acknowledging the lovers who bent me in half?
Bless them for bringing me to you
How can I say your name without
Also breathing the words, my God, I found you?
How can I ever speak again with this mouth
When it has found where it belongs?
When you touch me I am a bed of calla lilies
I will make a house for you and fill it with evergreens
I will paint sunsets on every wall so you can only see beautiful things
How can I say "love" without wanting to fold myself into you,
Like a thousand paper cranes?
Dear one, I was halved the moment I was born
The other piece of me is inside of your mouth
And I was found whole the moment you spoke
