I carry you on with me I promised you I would and I do
I float arund And show up unannounced in the places that you knew
I draw you out From the edge of my mouth It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now And a wonderful sound it makes
I was born with someone else's face A cowards anger and a fighters rage
I wait around for them to take my place And say love you’re free now
I’ve been caught in some old boring joke The only punch line is how long it goes
I’m in a song with one descending note I got nowhere else to be now
And no one tells you just how long you’ll last Some go slowly and some far too fast
I’ve got time I never planned to have I got years and years of it
I've been feeling like a wing clipped bird Been repeating this old phrase I learned
That no one's voice is ever really heard Until the whole world’s screaming it
( * )
I was living in a stranger’s house So I found shelter by the river’s mouth
And I go swimming till my feet touch ground Till I find something permanent
I see the rain over the valley’s edge Won't be long until the whole world’s wet
And all my drowning will make way more sense There ain't no better word for it
I carry you on with me I promised you I would and I do
I float arund And show up unannounced in the places that you knew
I draw you out From the edge of my mouth It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now And a wonderful sound it makes
