Porch Swing

Let my heart be your healer

Your stretcher my soul

Let the space in between us close ever so slow

That when our bodies touch and both our eyes close

We are one like the soil and the trees that it grows

I will stitch up your war wounds

I'll clean all the blood

I'll wipe off the dirt and I'll wash off the mud

From the tires of your car and the soles of your shoes

Until the outsides as pretty as the inside of you

Honey I'd wait for you all night

My eyelids are heavy, but still I'm awake

Darling don't leave me alone on a porch swing

With the ghost of a man who's too selfish to stay

Give me your hand

I'll lay down my life

Be it arrows or guns I'll step into the fire

My body and being

To you I belong

If you walked away now my whole life would be gone

Honey I'd wait for you all night

My eyelids are heavy, but still I'm awake

Darling don't leave me alone on a porch swing

With the ghost of a man who's too selfish to stay

I know life is hard here

Living off soot

I know you'd choose easy if you only could

And I can't give you that

But I can give you me

You know if you asked me

I'd beg on my knees

Honey I'd wait for you all night

My eyelids are heavy, but still I'm awake

Darling don't leave me alone on a porch swing

With the ghost of a man who's too selfish to stay
