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.

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.
