Deep Noises
[Verse]
Oh . . .
It's the sound of the sea again,
The echo
Of blood in a shell, bottles in the wind,
The sound
Of the train you can't see yet--
Noises,
Like memories,
Deep
Noises.
[Chorus]
If you say you want me,
Say it low,
Say it soft and
Say it slow.
Hold your [or "my" for a female] hand
To my [or "your" for a female] chest,
And I'll smile
For it.
[Verse]
Crows
Off in the distance
Soup kettle
Boiling in the kitchen
Roundness
Of trucks on the highway,
Diesel like my grandfather's voice
Tucking me into bed.
[Chorus]
When you say you love me,
Say it low,
Say it calmly,
Say it slow.
Hold my head,
To your chest,
And I'll smile
For it.
[Hummed Verse until]
Noises,
Like memories,
Deep
Noises.
