Body Below
There's a story i could tell
When the cold wind starts to blow
Like a whisper in the night
From a friend that you knowIt says "keep holding on
To my body below
Forsake me not,
Don't ever leave me alone"There was a time when the sunGave it's life to the trees
And the air it smelled sweeter
For the honey and the beesThe ocean rolled salty
And wild and free
The fruit swelled and ripened
And burst with their seedsBut what starts with desire
Can turn into need
The chest gets all tightLike it's got some diseaseWhat burns in the fire
Just ends up as coals
What floats on the water
Can sink like a stoneNow i want to believeEvery word that you say
I want you to need me
To not go awayHave trust in the nighttime
And faith in the day
To walk on the water
Be never afraidCan you bear it upon you?
My love has gone under
Above all the stars
Have forgotten to glowBut if you keep holding on to
My body below you
I'll warm you and keep you
From feeling aloneWarm you and keep you from feeling alone (x5)
