I'll walk quietly around you
I'll whisper my songs
I'll hold your head together, sweet

I'll tiptoe, dainty as a faerie
I'll make you a chain of paper things
I'll draw your thoughts away so they can't hurt you, sweet

Although I am not graceful
And I stomp and stalk around
I'll change all this, I'd change everything
If it means you'd have me around,

And although I am loud and brutal
And I'm clumsy with my feet
You know that under this elephant
There's something soft and gentle, sweet
