lion be a father to the night lamb be my dream of an afterlife silence convince the lovers in their sheets to move in mists of effortlessness together as they sleep i d shy when i d see you around we were here at the same time in the same town i asked for answers from the ocean waves if it s meant to be then it will be they said i wanted you bring them in so sweet those hymns sing them soft to me just like a shepherd of the stray hearts leaving you whale bones in your front yard and a basket of spearmint on the gate behind your swing and a white scarf around the cello cart you re always pushing i wanted you magnets find each other and i will be your lover and i will be your lover oh i oh i oh why oh why oh why
