Shape Shifter

(album: Wide Eyed Elk Ensemble - 2021)

We drove your truck to the side of the river
And walked on down the street alone
No cars in sight like it was ours the whole time
And I watched the back of your knees

And in that crease truly saw what love means
It's like shit that no one ever sees, I know
Like sweat and sheets and the coldness of your feet
And your willingness to not leave me alone

Oh, oh my god
May the horse turn to trees or a song
And oh, oh my god
I would die just to feel you at all
I would die just to feel you at all

We walked the line crossed the river deep and wide
I watched you step along the stone
And if I fell and floated down to hell
I feel like you just might come along

You prepped the land with some cedar in your hand
And walked the mountain side alone
I waited there and admitted I was scared
And held on til you told me to let go

And oh, oh my god
May the horse turn to trees or a song
And oh, oh my god
I would die just to feel you at all
I would die just to feel you at all
