The Little One (3:57)


Climbing Staircases
windowsill over
You and I will be together
wherever you want to go
Shady treetops will
sing and dance
and I peel the curtain
you open up your eyes and see
The little one
The little one
I can see
the little one
I can see
 
Creeping cloudcover
Shade and flower dewdrops
timely thoughts that take over my head (over my head)
rescue me offer
infant eyes gleaming
ride in circles you realize the kind of things you have to know
you have to know (the little one)
you have to know
 
I can see
the little one
I can see
 
Hand in icicles
fingertip shivers
come here closer to my reliable intentions
Are you feeling now
how the whistle blows
in your ears and you open up your eyes to see
 
The little one
The little one
you have to know the little one
 
I can see
the little one
I can see
 
Spotlight moon in my
bottled rolling ocean
shining in
to reveal the secrets that you can
I am broken by lighting cracks
Even though I knew you would realize
the kind of things you have to know
the little one
you have to know
The little one
you have to know
 
I can see
