lyrics

I have no hands.
I have no feet.
I’m just a sheep in a pasture of wheat.
I have no eyes.
I have no mouth.
I’m just a fish in a squid’s inky cloud.

You were my mind.
You were my mind.
You were my acorn, my oak and my pine.
You remind me, you remind me,
Of my hair and my skin and my teeth.

Remember that day we sailed away,
On an island bound ferry over sharks, skates and rays?
An old photograph still blushes and laughs,
Still kisses your hands in the back of the class.
Under your bed sheets, it’s still maple bay leaves, rose-colored poppies, daffodils and daisies.
And come the springtime, it’s all pollen and beehives,
My mouth moves like honey over arms, hair and spine.

I have no hands.
I have no feet.
I’m just a sheep in a pasture of wheat.
I have no eyes.
I have no mouth.
I’m just a fish in a squid’s inky cloud.

Remember that night,
Down by the river?
We slipped inside what the sky had delivered.
A meteor shower, it went on for hours,
We fell behind those obsidian towers.
Under the starlight, all wide-eyed and sleep-deprived,
You took my hand; we battled down from the outside.
We burrowed through blood streams,
Where earthworms and gophers dream
Right down to the mercury
Where we fell asleep.

You were my mind.
You were my mind.
You were my acorn, my oak and my pine.
You remind me, you remind me,
Of my hair and my skin and my teeth.
