Mary Lambert - Dear One lyrics

Where did you come from bright star? What heaven did you leap from dear love? How can I spell your name without the sound of autumn underneath my tongue? Without acknowledging the levers who bent me in half Bless them for bringing me to you How can i say your name without also breathing the words, "My God I found you"? How can I ever speak again with this mouth when it has found where it belongs? When you touch me, I'm a bed of callillys I will make a house for you and fill it with evergreens I will paint sunsets on every wall so you can only see beautiful things How can I say love without wanting to fold myself into you like a thousand paper cranes? Dear one, I was halved the moment I was born Either piece of me is inside your mouth And I was found whole the moment you spoke.
