Mirah - Body Below

Body Below
Mirah

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
Don't ever leave me alone"
Forsake me not,

There was a time when the sun
Gave it's life to the trees
For the honey and the bees
And the air it smelled sweeter

The ocean rolled salty
And wild and free
The fruit swelled and ripened
And burst with their seeds
But what starts with desire

The chest gets all tight

Can turn into need
Like it's got some disease
What floats on the water
What burns in the fire
Just ends up as coals

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
But if you keep holding on to
Have forgotten to glow

I'll warm you and keep you
My body below you
From feeling alone
