Porch Swing

Let my heart be your healer Your stretcher my soul Let the space in between us close ever so slow That when our bodies touch and both our eyes close We are one like the soil and the trees that it grows I will stitch up your war wounds I’ll clean all the blood I’ll wipe off the dirt and I’ll wash off the mud From the tires of your car and the soles of your shoes Until the outsides as pretty as the inside of you Honey I’d wait for you all night My eyelids are heavy, but still I’m awake Darling don’t leave me with alone on a porch swing With the ghost of a man too selfish to stay Give me your hand I’ll lay down my life Be it arrows or guns I’ll step into the fire My body and being To you I belong If you walked away now my whole life would be gone Honey I’d wait for you all night My eyelids are heavy, but still I’m awake Darling don’t leave me alone on a porch swing With the ghost of a man too selfish to stay I know life is hard here Living off soot I know you’d choose easy if you only could And I can’t give you that But I can give you me You know if you asked I’d beg on my knees Honey I’d wait for you all night My eyelids are heavy, but still I’m awake Darling don’t leave me alone on a porch swing With the ghost of a man too selfish to stay
