Wild Things

I was broken wing and cast aside

You were sugar cane crystallized

On the porch swing sipping summer through a straw

In my arms

I was shattered glass in disarray

You were moon rise on a sunny day

On the porch swimming through a sea of air

Just sitting there

And I could hope that this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things go only where the wind decides

I curse the ground the rain would never fall

You dropped from heaven into open palms

I fought the feeling till at last the feeling won

And it was done

But I can't wash away the dirt

Your eyes see beneath that dusty earth

On the ocean floor filling up my lungs

With your love

I could hope that this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things go only where the wind decides

'Cause I could hope that this would never change

But I would miss the simple things taking place

And I could pray that you'd stay by my side

But wild things go only where the wind decides
