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.
