I’m an orphan before I’m a son
And I’m nothin’ if I am just one
But if we were two, I tell you what I’d do
I’d lay you down and blow out the sun

And the moon is a fool for our kind
As I find you and we intertwine
Soft lover’s prayer, toss your hair
To let me know you are all mine

But there’s a branch in your mind a-bendin’
Like a killer that ain’t worth defendin’
Like a thousand years of progress and tears
Have now all come to their endin’

I hold you to my chest like a charm
I hold you to keep you warm
And you are so small, you’re like nothin’ at all
Like you were born to be in my arms
