The water hugs the harbour And it’s swelling like the flesh of peach Breathing like the belly of a baby softly lost in sleep I could go under Slip down in the deep At the bottom of deepest sea Would I finally find release Your love won’t float For fear of drowning My heart’s not the boat The birds are singing brightly in the tall trees of Skeoch wood And scarcely I believed that peace of mind in life could be as good I could remember, it all, the walls beyond If it all falls, from the forest would I even know it’s gone Your love won’t fly For fear of falling Now I won’t share the sky Another summer, ‘nother winter, ‘nother fall All the leaves on trees, for all the woods, I can see it all And all the while I wonder what it won’t or what it will Wherever you are it’s all there ever still Your love won’t fly for fear of falling Now I don’t share the sky

Most Of All 02:36
There’s a room where everyone hangs on my every word But in our haunted house my daddy rarely heard a word I said My lover loves me most of all He can write a beautiful love song but he can barely sing at all My mother praised me for being truthful all my days But I needed things that I did not say I did not ask, did not complain I let my wants be washed away My lover loves me most of all He can write a beautiful love song but he can barely sing it all I let the heartless make a host of me And they plundered me for melody Left me not a note to sing They would have taken everything My lover loves me most of all He can write a beautiful love song but he can barely sing at all Maybe I won’t be no one’s mother in the end I took the pills, the potions and the vitamins But I could not keep my darlings in My lover loves me most of all He can write a beautiful love song but he can barely sing at all I will not ruin what I’ve got All things I am and I’m not I will not live my life in pain If I can’t see the way on any given day I’ll take a breath and look again For my lover loves me most of all, and he’ll write a beautiful love song though he can barely sing at all
