Hound's Teeth

Sprinklers are on as they are late at night Signaling dawn though I can't see the light yet Nothing is wrong, but the sleep I can't find And the fact that you're here if only in my mind My heart's keeping time which means every day's long No burden of mine, what is gone is gone I say I've let go - proud of a failed grip Nothing free about the fall, but I've landed it Nothing free about the fall, but I've landed it And I wish I could be just a little more profound Use some metaphor like 'I'll be the fox to your hound Because I'd face the risk of you hunting me down If it meant I had a chance just to have you around I'll stop running I've stopped running Instead I just say it's not want it's a need As long as I'm held I don't care if it's by teeth I don't care if it's by teeth You can hold me between Do you think I will bleed? Please be gentle with me Hold me by your teeth You can hold me between Do you think I will bleed? Please be gentle with me Hold me by your teeth
