I Carry Water
You were lonely then
I was fond of loneliness
I cut your hair
I carried water to your bed
Wasn't I fine?
I meant to spend, all my life on you
You were made a machine
I was made a child
I still hear them need or scared
I hear the static in your voice
Wasn't I fine?
Oh could you teach me to lose someone
Took your anchor east
To where the sea burst in
And the rivers have no teeth
Where I could cry all afternoon
Wasn't I fine?
I meant to spend, all my life on you
Wasn't I fine?
Oh could you teach me to lose someone
