Mirah Body Below lyrics

There's a story I could tell when the cold wind starts to blow
Like a whisper in the night from a friend that you know
It says, "Keep holding on to my body below
Forsake me not, don't ever leave me alone"

There was a time when the sun gave its life to the trees
And the air it smelled sweeter for the honey and the bees
The ocean rolled salty and wild and free
The fruit swelled and ripened and burst with their seeds

But what starts with desire can turn into need
The chest gets all tight like it's got some disease
What burns in the fire just ends up as coals
What floats on the water can sink like a stone

Now I want to believe every word that you say
I want you to need me to not go away

Have trust in the nighttime and faith in the day
To walk on the water, be never afraid

Can you bear it upon you? My love has gone under
Above all the stars have forgotten to glow
But if you keep holding on to my body below you
I'll warm you and keep you from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
