Lover Girl

Looking for a hand to hold

There to pull and push against

Even now we're dancing

Longing for a place to know

Where branches reach, lantana grow

And butterflies take their poses

Come

My lover girl

Did you grow an inch today

Once you were a tiny thing

And before that God's dream

Goodness comes to those who wait

Give them love, and sacrifice

Because it's your turn now

Come

My lover girl

We're as new as scheming eyes

We're as old as mother and child

We're as new as scheming eyes

We're as old as mother and child

Just a little piece of us

Marveling at all of you

Head, heart, shoulder, shoulder

Go and close the drapes I made

Put your little hands together

And pray for your mama

Come

My lover girl
