Mimi

She held her hands above my hips and knees She was searching for the light and heat in me I closed my eyes to the colors in my mind And she drew lines over me Until we fell asleep One night I think I tried to run away But first I looked inside her door And there was she, awake just for me She wrapped me in her rosy hair and held me there Until we fell asleep She said, If you feel like a child Just come to me I'll be your guide I know you inside, I know you inside She stayed up all night and she prayed for me She slipped a thread under my door and she Wrapped it round me tight and clenched her eyes with all her might Rocking her body back and forth She doesn't do that anymore She says, If you feel like a child, Just sit and breathe I'm not your guide The balance isn't right Ooh, Ooh I had to see her face and tell her why She hadn't heard from me in quite some time I thought it meant we couldn't be friends The things she needed I couldn't provide When she said If you feel like a child You can always sit with me We walk in stride I love you
