Stay

i want to go where water flows on top of trees
where popsicles don’t drip on my knees
all sticky like the breeze on a humid day
i want to say

why i can’t i be with thee today
why can’t i be with thee today
i want to stay

i want to slide inside your home
like a caterpillar about to transform
and take up lots of room
escape from its cocoon
i want to loom

i want to fly around your being
become all knowing and all seeing
and brush my naked skin
against your mouth and chin
ah let me in

why i can’t i be with thee today
why can’t i be with thee today
i want to stay

i’m going to find that tree where we
hid the envelope that was to be
our little sanctuary
our crazy dream

why i can’t i be with thee today
why can’t i be with thee today
couldn’t i just be with thee
