Milk

Yellow lightbulb, incandescent

Cotton nightgown, soft and fragrant

Don't put me down

In the past or after dinner

Swaddle me for 20 minutes

Don't put me down

You turn the lights out

I'm all alone now

My thumb in my mouth

Oh, I need your love, take me in your arms

An eternal embrace

I won't be unkind, no I swear this time

I won't push you away

Is it all dried up? Unconditional love

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

Underneath the kitchen table

Pick me up and make a cradle

Don't put me down

You don't like the way I'm crying

Locks the doors that used to open

Don't put me down

I throw my key out

I'm all alone now

Can I sleep at your house?

Oh, I need your love, take me in your arms

An eternal embrace

I won't be unkind, no I swear this time

I won't push you away

Is it all dried up? Unconditional love

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

Oh, I need your love, take me in your arms

An eternal embrace

I won't be unkind, no I swear this time

I won't push you away

Is it all dried up? Unconditional love

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

I don't know if I've been missing

Something that never existed

Don't put me down

Let me back in from the wild

I can be your golden child

Don't put me down
