lyrics

My love,
in the dream
you were already speaking
I was too shocked to make 
any one of my tired speeches
Listen,
that’s a rare thing for me

Sunlight touches on the
plants that I’ve been torturing
Yet when I come over
I love that quick delay before
your face alights
in recognition

I know there is
love that doesn’t have to do with
taking something
from somebody
was so much for me
not real? I only managed to stay small by
making giants out of strangers
Through the chaos I can see
all afternoon you inhale
every bouquet you meet

Come to think of it,
the dream
was a nightmare
with no one who knew me 
just then
you were there 
2 foot tall little bear, you
took my hand and
introduced me to everybody
I watched as you were named on
that mid-February morning 

I know there is
love that doesn’t have to do with
taking something
from somebody
was so much for me
not real? I only managed to stay small by
making giants out of strangers
Through the chaos I can see
all afternoon you inhale
Every bouquet you meet
I have to stop myself and admit I am happy
 
there is
love that doesn’t have to do with
taking something
from somebody
was so much for me
not real? I only managed to stay small by
making giants out of strangers
Through the window you look at me

I have to stop myself and admit 
you make me happy
