Wild Things

(album: Coast Modern - 2017)

I was broken wing and cast aside
You were sugar cane, crystallized
On the porch swing sipping summer through a straw
In my arms
I was shattered glass in disarray
You were moonrise on a sunny day
On the porch swimming through a sea of air
Just sitting there

And I could hope that this would never change
But I would miss the simple things taking place
And I could pray that you'd stay by my side
But wild things go only where the wind decides

I cursed the ground, the rain would never fall
You dropped from heaven into open palms
I fought the feeling 'til at last the feeling won
And it was done
But I can't wash away the dirt
Your eyes see beneath that dusty earth
On the ocean floor filling up my lungs
With your love

And I could hope that this would never change
But I would miss the simple things taking place
And I could pray that you'd stay by my side
But wild things go only where the wind decides

I could hope that this would never change
But I would miss the simple things taking place
And I could pray that you'd stay by my side
But wild things go only where the wind decides
