For the First Time (A Song for a Heart that is Hurting)

I need a song for a heart that is hurting I need words that stroke like old men’s hands Rest on my face I need a life thick and soft like rich green grass I need to lie flat on my back Look at the clouds, aquamarine sky For days and days I need to get dried to the bone Soaked wet Swept by a storm Washed up on a beach I need to land within my own reach I need to feel these hands and feet of mine for the first time I need a song for a heart that is hurting Please.
