Cling
Buds were blooming, birds
were humming
Hearts were zooming and babe
you were coming
But the music stopped, an
awkward pause I couldn’t sing
The level of excitement
dropped, once again you felt the need to cling
Hanging on to dilemmas,
isolated in old regrets and past fear
Need to pick shades of
sienna, colors that bring warmth and
cheer
Be deciding on the shape of
tomorrow, where to watch the birds sing
No more wasting time on that
sorrow, come take my soul baby cling
Hold on like plastic wrap
that goes astray and you say crap that shit just cling
Hold on and don’t let go even
if the ugliest things in life show
Hold on baby and I’ll never
let go, put our voices together and sing
And wrap your love around my messed
up shit and baby cling
We ain’t perfect and we don’t
always smell sweet,
but baby come rain or shine
I’ll always grab your feet
Baby let me hear you clear
your pretty lungs and sing
Fall into me mama and
forevermore baby let me feel you cling
