with your voice on my lips
i connected the wires
as the sun blew a kiss
and then turned off his light
i just sat underneath
of an old willow tree
and adjusted your eyes
so they rested on me for a while
in a house on a tree
by the wet of the stream
i became real to you
you became real to me
as i fed you the world
through the holes in your eyes
with your voice on my lips
i connected the wires
and we waited for something to send
and i loved from the start
and i loved from the end
and you loved me for all that i'd been
all along
you were
in a wire
in the black of the night
as your breath played a song
that would keep me alive
and the green of the grass
or the blue from your eyes
and i knew that i'd love for the rest of your life
and i waited for something to say
through the black of the night
through the light of the day
and you loved me for all i became
all along
all along
all along
all along
all along
