Lyrics
The soft animal of my body wants the soft animal of yours
My despair wants to sit down quiet next to your despair
Oh my heart it wants to quit because it is too tired of wanting
But my hands they want your hair
My shoulder wants to lean in close and be there for your leaning
But my anger wants to run away or turn itself inside
My shadow want to know that you’ll be there to help me hold them
I will not run and hide
It’s your laughter that I want to hear floating through the gathering
It’s your hands I want to know about, your hips, your smile, your tears
What you are and what you would be: that’s what I am asking
From my lips to your ears
What is it that you want?
That’s what I’d like to know
Tell me what you want
Tell it to me slow
My footsteps want to walk beside yours somewhere near the river
Oh my eyes they want your dark eyes looking back at me
My arms, they want to hold you until we are both believers
And I want you to be free
I want to touch your face, I want to kiss you by the river
I want you here with me
