[Verse 1]
Ooh, little one
What a happy thing, to meet you in a dream
You joined me for a swim
I reached out, you jumped right in
[Verse 2]
Ooh, little one
So we stretched in liquid there
I don't remember swimsuit or underwear
It had been so long
Since my limbs were held in space
Suspended
[Verse 3]
Ooh, little one
That shit was crazy, like they said
I slept underneath his bed
The worst was around 8:00 p.m.
[Verse 4]
Ooh, little one
Topical visits with some friends
Hoping they'll come 'round again
List their names, list their names out loud
That we might transcend the distance between us
[Bridge]
All alone, in my soul, my little soul, ah
[Verse 5]
Ooh, little one
A thousand planes up in the air
You fly home, to show that you care
And so you nail the coffin down
Wash away the old hometown
[Verse 6]
Burdened in circumstance
Burdened by temperament
Burdened, I'm sure
But don't forget, your limbs were held in space
Suspended
