There's a feeling tip-toeing around in the valley
And all the gnomes say it's coming for me
There's the howling and the quiet
The stomping and their trumpets
Should I throw my heart out into the sea
Teach me how to cry
I need to release all that sits in my heart
Teach me how to craft
Some kind of device to keep me from falling apart
This feeling in the morning
Purring in my chest like a kitty
I pulled on its slippery tail
Saying please don't you ever hurt me
But then I rock it back and forth
A motherly thought, but I think it's been long enough
Haunting me like a ghost yearning for love
Teach me how to cry
I need to release all that sits in my heart
Teach me how to craft
Some kind of device to keep me from falling apart
Send the feeling away
Build a house on the bay and keep it there (keep it there)
Let the waves wash it off
A feeling gone
A feeling gone
A feeling gone
