I knew your love
Before I even knew your name
No other could give what you gave to me
Lindy
And yours was the first
Heartbeat I'd heard
No other has given what you gave to me
Lindy
Now I'm the one carrying you around
Every day
Wherever I'm gonna go
You are never so far away
And I cannot put you down
When you gave me everything
I even have your own father's arms
And your children's children on my knee
Unique among all others
My mother
The one who gave me birth
I was your sunflower bud
On the wall of your womb
Unfolding in the depths of the earth
I knew your voice
Before I could speak
It can be a brutal world
But there was room for me
It can be a brutal world
But there was room for me
Lindy
And I knew your touch
Before I was seen
I was a stranger
And you welcomed me
Lindy
I was a stranger
And you welcomed me
Lindy
Now I'm the one carrying you around
Every day
Wherever I'm gonna go
You are never so far away
And I cannot put you down
When you gave me everything
I even have your own father's arms
And your children's children on my knee
Lindy
You're never so far away
And armfuls of memories come
Like a harvest none too late
(You're never far, you're never far)
Your cherry tomato cheekbones
As you prepare everyone a plate
(You're never far, you're never far)
And I cannot put you down
You gave me everything
