From the recording Birds Of Relocation (2012)
Lyrics
Soul And Flesh
We’re a couple of codependents
Like the span over Pontchartrain
We saw the stars in the latent sky
And set out to stake our claim
At first light when you see me there lying next to you
Surely burdens will have their day, but baby don’t be fooled
She loves me for my smile
And for the crow’s feet on my eyes
She loves the song inside my chest
She loves me soul and flesh
The more I see, the older I wonder
Why life should be so good
And what in me is worth an ounce of care
And is worth holding onto
At last light when you feel me there crumpled next to you
I’ll always be your hopeless half-full glass, so lover come pour into
She loves me for my smile
And for the crow’s feet on my eyes
She loves the song inside my chest
She loves me soul and flesh
I’ll be your mystery beneath these vagrant clouds
But you see right through me and all my flagrant doubts
She knows me so well now
She loves me for my smile
And for the crow’s feet on my eyes
She loves the song deep inside my chest
She loves me soul and flesh
She loves me soul and flesh
