lyrics

So did you find
the cradle in my arms?
A field of flowers
grew in your eyes

When you shook at night
just crying
Oh my darlin',
I should think
to remind myself
of how the water
caressed the shore

Darlin' we've
lived with the seasons
the song of the sea
the wood of the trees
Whether a seed
finds it place
All the wild can do
is wait

Was I a man
who could form a plan
When the sun went down
I was straight in bed
With a leaf of bread
upon my fingertips
I was crying
for a dream

And mama's sweet poetry
The flowers withered
in the kitchen sink
Whether a lonely heart
finds it place
all a good heart can do
is live
