lyrics

you know that I love you
I hold you when I feel you
I will call you friend
when I wrap my arms around you

your voice it is so warm
it's a stove I'm sitting near
and every word is baking a flower in my ear
all your thoughts are pearl, of ruby and of gold
every rhyme in the world
was in that story that you just told

you know that I love you
I hold you when I feel you
I will call you friend
When I wrap my arms around you

If you were on this train
that crawls beneath the island
and all our thoughts cohesive and louder than the silence
and the ringing of the rails
and the racket of the mileage
i would hold you close
with ears and with a reverence
for your wicked soul, your wit and wooden fences

you know that I love you
I hold you when I feel you
I will call you friend
When I wrap my arms around you
