So Sweetly Around Me

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 secrets in her belly wrestle softly for her keepingLike the ring that left her finger green

And the knife that sent her shivering body free

Oh, like a knot she tied so sweetly around me

We were aware of our bounderiesSomeday 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 take you for the keepingAnd you will fly so sweetly around me

And you will teach me to fly so sweetly around you
