Your Animal

You you you don’t have to be good

We are all animals

Am I your animal?

You you you’ve got a lot to lose

Unless you let it go

But either way, you know

Your hands can’t catch a thing like that

Cannot catch a thing like that

Fold to pray that it comes back

We try to build fires in the night

So the stars might look upon us

And wonder at the light

Wild geese fly north above me

I remember when we had wings

Flew so high and the sun stripped those feathers clean

And when I fell from grace

The earth welcomed me

Your hands can’t catch a thing like that

Cannot catch a thing like that

Fold to pray that it comes back

We try to build fires in the night

So the stars might look upon us

And wonder at the light
