lyrics

They say I came into this world
with a cold sharp shock.
Filled my lungs with air 'til I
learned to shout.
Years spun by with wonders
before my eyes.
So tell me how is it you still
took me by surprise?

In one breath I knew myself
but in the next I knew nothing else
but you.

You were a short sharp shock from the start.
Will you bring me to life
or stop my heart?

When the old man died they say
his wife was not the same.
She crumpled into herself like an
animal hurt and lamed.
I've seen that hollow carved
into another's soul.
Never wanted to risk I'd be
left so cold.

But in one breath I knew myself
and in the next I knew nothing else
but you.

You were a short sharp shock from the start.
Will you bring me to life
or stop my heart?

They say I came into this world
with a cold sharp shock.
Still I never really breathed 'til you
​woke me up.

beauty is... tears in laughter, small joys even in the midst of sorrow, a drifting feather, a cold beach, the wind over the ocean, cold fingers on the skin making your heart warm, storm clouds and lightning, rain, the sun through green leaves in the morning, voices singing, the rhythm of a drum, the beat of your heart, the sigh of your breath and moments of pure relaxation...and a ukulele helps. ... more
