lyrics

if we were both birds I'd whistle this song
I would fly by your side all migration long
I'd pass to your mouth each worm I'd ingest
and I'd lay down for you every twig in our nest

If we were both wolves I'd feed you my kill
and I'd curl up next to you to keep us warm from the chill
I'd howl and hunt with a pack you would lead
and I'd carry your pups til I'm too old to breed

if we were both...

if we were both tigers with beautiful fur
my affection for you would be heard in my purr
I'd tend to your wounds, keep you clean with my tongue
and I'd fight off enemies for our vulnerable young

if we were both sharks I'd take you to deeps
and the endless brilliant colors of the coral reefs
all the beauty you could fit into your black doll eyes
though compared to my love, it's just a fraction in size

if we were both...

there is something here that makes me come alive
it is food for the road, it is fuel for the drive
it is courage to explore all of time and space
except
just to kiss the lips on your face

but you chose not to want what I want the most
for you are a young soldier and I am but a ghost
a ghost who isn't even sure of her own name
who will never feel the heat from your flame

if we were both...
