Lyrics
Love, like water, is always there.
There is grace she cannot capture, even in her underwear.
She's sure he said, "You are time and space."
She's sure he said, "You are the planet."
She's sure he said, "Put your little foot right down."
How noisy my heart is, or means to be.
How the too ample space has weakened you and me.
She's sure he said, "You are time and space."
She's sure he said, "You are the planet."
She's sure he said, "Put your little foot right down."
She closes her eyes with urgency.
I am rarefied. I am fat with breath and possibility.
She's sure he said, "You are time and space."
She's sure he said, "You are the planet."
She's sure he said, "Put your little foot right down.
Listen to your heart beat, by and by."
