So Sweetly Around Me

I watched her sleep from the driver's seat And she turned into an ocean spitting fish into my sea Oh, how she flickered to remain so young and innocently sweet And how the secrets in her belly wrestle softly for her keeping Like the ring that left her finger green And the knife that sent her shivering body free Oh, like a knot she tied so sweetly around me We were aware of our bounderies Someday I'll meet you on a telephone wire Won't have to love you through a prayer I can just touch you with my eyes And we will talk about the world just as if we were still alive And you will rest within my feathers And I will take you for the keeping And you will fly so sweetly around me And you will teach me to fly so sweetly around you And if you talk to Jesus, ask Him if He wants me to come home If He says He's seen us changing all His plans to suit our own Will you apologize or stand behind the selfish moves we've made While learning life is strange and people change and circle round again
