Mother's Milk Breath

Me and you, kid home alone
Learning how to live

You for the first time
And me well… it's been a long time coming

The hardest part is getting started

One foot falls in front of the other

One word spills out after another

Now you try

I'm long winter sick baby stir-crazy
And there are days when doubts arise
They simmer and subside

For you, little Miss mother's Milk Breath
When the Sun gets tired i'll hang the moon

And soon, little Miss limitless Interest
When the Moon catches fire
We'll start a new day of school

Do you know where your mouth is?
Or how to tell a lie?
Do you know what desire is?
You will in time

Me and you, kid learning how to live
With these tired eyes and thin skin
