Didn't Want You
November 3, 2002
I didn't tell you to need me
In that place you hide
Where you hold yourself together
Close your eyes
And whisper softly to the trees
Your secrets
Of gold and yellow,
Sunshine and rain.
I didn't want you to come down
From your sky to meet me
Half way between the truths
And the lies
That mold our universe
And to hold each other close
In our dank and dismal dry well
I didn't want you to die for me
I wanted you to fly away instead
Dance up on a stage
And sing to the world of your love
Because I know that one day
You'll change the world
And you'll be changing it for me.
