Three Babies Lyrics

Three Babies

each of these

 my three babies

 I will carry with me

 for myself

 I ask no one else will be

 mother to these three

 and of course

 I'm like a wild horse

 but there's no other way I could be

 water + feed

 are not tools that I need

 for the thing that I've chosen to be



 in my soul

 my blood + my bones

 I have wrapped your cold bodies around me

 the face on you

 the smell of you

 will always be with me



 each of these

 my three babies

 I was not willing to leave

 though I tried

 I blasphemed + denied

 I know they will be returned to me

 each of these

 my babies

 have brought you closer to me

 no longer mad like a horse

 I'm still wild but not lost

 from the thing that I've chosen to be



 and it's 'cos you've thrilled me

 silenced me

 stilled me

 proved things I

the face on you

 the smell of you

 will always be with me.
