lyrics

BORROWED PLACE

hold me in a borrowed place, keep me where you are
fill the sky with blackbirds, fill the sky with stars
call me by a secret name noone ever knew
hold me in a borrowed place, close to you
i know it’s only for a minute
i know things don’t stay the same
i know nothing is forever
hold me in a borrowed place and say my name


catch me like a garter snake and let me go again
hold me up above the sky so i can see the end
out beyond that bright line what will i be
catch me like a snake then set me free
i know it’s only for a minute
i know that all things mend
i know nothing is forever
hold me up above the sky so i can see the end

put me on a hill where there’s always a breeze
flowers drifting down from the dogwood trees
crickets and coyotes singing in the night
on a little hill where the stars shine bright
i know it’s only for a minute
i know there’s more than we can see
i know nothing is forever
cover me with kisses from the dogwood trees

hold me in a borrowed place teach me a song
black eyed water baby can’t stay long
i don’t know the words for the colors up above
put me in the hands that made the hands that i love
i know it’s only this minute
i know we’ve been here all along
i know everything’s forever
hold me in a borrowed place i can’t stay long
hold me in a borrowed place sing me a song
