I was broken wing and cast aside You were sugar cane, crystallized
On the porch swing sipping summer through a straw In my arms
I was shattered glass in disarray You were moonrise on a sunny day
On the porch swimming through a sea of air Just sitting there
* And I could hope that this would never change
But I would miss the simple things taking place
And I could pray that you'd stay by my side But wild things go only where the wind decides
I cursed the ground, the rain would never fall You dropped from heaven into open palms
I fought the feeling 'til at last the feeling won And it was done
But I can't wash away the dirt Your eyes see beneath that dusty earth
On the ocean floor filling up my lungs With your love
And I could pray that you'd stay by my side But wild things go only where the wind decides
