lyrics

talk to me
with a soft smile
reassuring voice
sit with me
ask me a question you think i should answer

is there anything
that you find interesting in me
or are you just curious naturally

i know im pretty quiet
or lost in a different space
i figure you can identify the lakes
that seem to coat my face

or maybe the hear the silent call
i always make
in a house full of people where i wander alone
looking like i cried myself awake

could you be my new mother maybe maybe
could you be my real mother maybe maybe

come to me
once in a while or a lifetime
even when im not there
please come here
any day any time is fine

everywhere i go im seen like a creature
some places though im seen like a teacher
in this house we are all teachers

i know im pretty different
wildly strange at times
the fire and water crashing in my heart
creates many unusual paradigms

your heart shaped hands
and tight embrace
makes everything momentarily
fall in the right place

could you be my new mother maybe maybe
could you be my real mother maybe maybe
