Child

The voices in my head are shadows, shadows
 She comes to me, to tell me what they're after
 Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful
 Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle
 The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
 In flashing lights I swear she wore old film then the color bleeds and she
 Becomes an angel, angel, hmmm
 Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel
 And I say come on child, and I say come on child

 The blanket where she hides my virgin lights
 Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike
 Staring at your knees but I don't have the words right, words right now
 If up to me my maker turned right, turned right
 Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles
 Black lava rocks and instead she sees for miles says she wants, oh wants to

 Stay a child, child right now
 And wonders why we ever ever have to die
 And I say come on child and I say come on child
 Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry
 Another time where I probably shared the same life
 The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now
 It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child
 And I say come on child
 Love love love love love
