Body Below

There's a story I could tell

When the cold wind starts to blow

Like a whisper in the night

From a friend that you know

It says keep holding on

To my body below

Forsake me not

Don't ever leave me alone

There was a time when the sun

Gave it's life to the trees

And the air it smelled sweeter

For the honey and the bees

The ocean rolled salty

And wild and free

The fruit swelled and ripened

And burst with their seeds

But what starts with desire

Can turn into need

The chest gets all tight

Like it's got some disease

What burns in the fire

Just ends up as coals

What floats on the water

Can sink like a stone

Now I want to believe

Every word that you say

I want you to need me

To not go away

Have trust in the nighttime

And faith in the day

To walk on the water

Be never afraid

Can you bear it upon you

My love has gone under

Above all the stars

Have forgotten to glow

But if you keep holding on to

My body below you

I'll warm you and keep you

From feeling alone
