Well I've lived a short life Not a lot of things that I've seen But in that short life A lot of things that I've been I've been a daughter And a sister too I've been in trouble And I've been in love with you And we are all just creatures, baby Fumbling towards the light And I'm crawling on my knees now, baby Won't you make my heart alright? Won't you make my heart alright? Well there is an old house That I think about sometimes With creaky floorboards And height marks of a outgrown child And it burnt down sometime ago Or so it would seem And I still see it's dying colors In the autumn leaves And we are all just creatures, baby Longing to be free And if we're all just creatures, baby Won't you give my heart to me? Won't you give your heart to me? Well used to swim the river Once or twice every year But I found out that the river It was often insincere So now I dip my toes in Still hoping to get wet But without my whole body My fate, it has been set And we are all just creatures, baby Grounded by our fear And if you're scared of love, now baby You'll know only loneliness and tears Only loneliness and tears And I may only be a creature But I'm still fumbling towards the light
