So long and Thanks for all the fish

By: Jewel

Just heard this song again, after a long silence...... man it makes me think of my past...

Inside my skin
There is this space...
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches

Inside my heart
There's an empty room.
It's waiting for lightning;
It's waiting for you

I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear

Muscles and sinew
Velvet and stone...
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans

My bones call to you
In a separate skin.
I make myself translucent
To let you in, boy...

I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear

There is the splendor of this
Secret inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger,
You're my gravity

My hands will adore you
Through all darkness, and they will
Lay you out in moonlight
And vent(?) your name

For I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here...
I need you near...
Inside the absence of fear.
