Birthday

almost spring holds us in
but oh, love’s womb holds us in
two days early or two years late
here comes our birthday
here comes our birthday

such a big thing through such a small opening
your arms, my arms
one circle, one love-laden dream

in strive of whole, we fill up every empty bowl
your cry, my cry
stretch of edges takes its toll

almost spring holds us in
but oh, love’s womb holds us in
two days early or two years late
here comes our birthday
here comes our birthday

a bird that flies stronger still each time he tries
you’re in, I’m in
soft touch hands comfort sighs

oh, how night holds our stay
‘til loosened tight shows the way
two days early or two years later
here, here
here

venus looking
down, see
us crown

almost spring holds us in
but oh, love’s womb holds us in
two days early or two years late
here comes our birthday
here comes our birthday
here comes our birthday
here
