LIFT

Well I gotta move.   I’m gonna ride up high
To where the earth has shifted, where it caresses the sky
In a Rhumi moment, that place of ache, not quite pain
And I’ve been longing for you long enough and my longing just won’t be contained
Lay down here with me tonight in the tall, cool grass on the riverside

I want to be everything for you
I want to be everything
You got that good thing that I need to be around
But I can’t reach you, baby, with your feet here on the ground

When you rise above me, the only place I long to be
I lift you up, above me, well you’re everything…

I’m gonna lift you up so I can see you there
Pressed into the sky with your cascading hair
Adorned with paintbrush flowers, your skin anointed with frankensence
We ain’t broken, baby, but perhaps we’re just a little bent
By places we’ve been and all the things we’ve seen
Blue smoke of sweetgrass, come on, come on, wash my spirit clean

And I want to be everything for you
You got me blown away by all the little things you do
You got that good thing the world needs to have around
But I can’t reach you, baby, with my feet on the ground

When you rise above me, the only place I long to be
I lift you up, above me, well you’re everything to me
When you rise above me, so high above, you shower me with all your love
How you lift me up, above me, you’re the only place that I long to be

And I want to be everything for you
I want to be everything
