Child

The voices in my head are shadows, shadows
She comes to me, to tell me what they're after
Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful
Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle
The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
In flashing lights I swear she was an old film
Then the color bleeds and she becomes an angel, angel, hmm
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel
I say come on child, and I say come on child

The blanket where she hides by virgin lights
Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike
Staring at her needs but I don't have the words right, words right now
If up to me might make her turn right, turn right
Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles
Black lovin' eyes and a stare that sees for miles
Says she wants to be, oh wants to stay a child, child now

And wonders why we ever ever have to die
And I say come on child and I say come on child
Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry
Another time where our palm shared the same line
The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now
It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child
And I say come on child
Love love love love love
