Anaïs Mitchell - Changer lyrics

if I can't keep it at least let me call it by name that was called falling this is called pain it's called love, what I'm losing I know love is a stranger I know that changes come I know love is a changer I'm gonna go quietly you don't have to tell me to just let me lie here a little longer next to you I'm not trying to bother you I'm just trying to breathe you in and then I will leave you there where you are sleeping but speaking of loving you, I do I'm telling you stranger to stranger whatever changes come to you I'm telling you changer to changer morning has stolen your shadow from me but I hold its shape in my mind it's the shape of your back when you turned it on me one last time out in the waking world nobody understands exactly how light it is exactly how free I am one minute I'm laughing and the next one I'm lost I'm watching the birds fly by I'm watching the highways cross speaking of loving you, I do I'm telling you stranger to stranger whatever changes come to you I'm telling you changer to changer if I can't keep it, at least let me call it by name
