Mary Lambert - Dear One Lyrics
Where did you come from bright star?What heaven did you leap from dear love?How can I spell your name without the sound of autumn underneath my tongue?Without acknowledging the levers who bent me in half Bless them for bringing me to youHow can i say your name without also breathing the words, "My God I found you"?How can I ever speak again with this mouth when it has found where it belongs?When you touch me, I'm a bed of callillysI will make a house for you and fill it with evergreensI will paint sunsets on every wall so you can only see beautiful thingsHow can I say love without wanting to fold myself into you like a thousand paper cranes?Dear one,I was halved the moment I was bornEither piece of me is inside your mouthAnd I was found whole the moment you spoke.
