lyrics

Thank you so much
it was so sweet of you to
ask me inside of you

The warm you are is new
but I know it like the day
Now I can sleep, now I can say --

May I dress you in this song?
Velvet words I choose
I think you'd look so pretty
if you'd just try on my hues

I was born to be your earth
you to be my air
Am I wrong to think this song
is something you might wear?

(now I can sleep...)

In your kiss, I taste no fear
Bathing in your afterglow
for long after you're here

Water-girl, baptize me in your deep
here in you I make my home; now I can sleep...

Let me dress you in my song
Whispered tears of lace
Could you look more perfect
as they softly veil your face?

I was born to be your earth
you to be my air
When you long, put on this song
and nevermore be bare...

Let me be all that you wear

(now I can sleep...)
