You were a legend But I barely knew you You were a peasant The grass grew through you You were an anchor To my mother’s ship You were a lover With a fighter’s wit
And I came to be Almost healthy Almost new Cause I came from you
Now I’m tied to the moon and wheel Any spark of light seems surreal Cause my heart is full of love, but my mind’s filled with fear And I just want to disappear
But I keep hearing naked songs from a foreign ghost And it’s these songs I hate the most Cause even though we met once when I was two I could never be in your shoes I can never be in your shoes
