I'm an orphan before I'm a son And I'm nothin' if I am just one But if we were two, I tell you what I'd do I'd lay you down and blow out the sun And the moon is a fool for our kind As I find you and we intertwine Soft lover's prayer, toss your hair To let me know you are all mine But there's a branch in your mind a-bendin' Like a killer that ain't worth defendin' Like a thousand years of progress and tears Have now all come to their endin' I hold you to my chest like a charm I hold you to keep you warm And you are so small, you're like nothin' at all Like you were born to be in my arms
