I Belong to You

If it were up to me to build this place Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste And soak up all the Finger Lakes So I could straighten the lines Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere. And if I was told to know my place Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours And I would use those lines I drew to get real close A finger on my pulse because I think that it's strongest there Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you. 'Cos I do not belong to the night Mystery or song or moonlight To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you. If the ground should start to break Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands Would plant themselves in door frames and Each other or at least I hope With each other, or at least I hope they would. 'Cos I do not belong to the night Mystery or song or moonlight To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you. If any part of us should start to die I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try That nothing is just born to die 'Cos I think that we'd all just wait Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true. 'Cos I do not belong to the night Mystery or song or moonlight To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you. I belong to you I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
