Child

The voices in my head are shadows, shadows
She comes to me, to tell me what they’re after
Says it ain’t the end boy but you best be careful, careful
Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle

The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
In flashing lights i swear she wore old film
Then the color bleeds and she becomes an angel, angel, hmmm
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel
And i say
Come on child
And i say
Come on child

The blanket where she hides my virgin lights
Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike
Staring at your knees but i don’t have the words right
Words right now
If up to me my maker turned right, turned right
Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles
Black lava rocks and instead she sees for miles
Says she wants, oh wants to stay a child, child right now
And wonders why we ever ever have to die
And i say

Come on child
And i say
Come on child

Just a touch i’m gonna carry, carry
Another time where i probably shared the same life
The accent of a kiss whispers we’re married, married now
It’s either love or just the sun in my eyes

And i say
Come on child

And i say
Come on child
Love, love, love, love, love
