Body for Safekeeping

Lyrics

I gave my body to you for safekeeping
there’s no point believing me
or disbelieving me
and as you’d only this drawer that you sleep in
then that’s where I stowed away
that’s where I stayed

you calm, you calm me

and in my body I store things that mean something
my self and my soul
my eyeholes & arsehole
everything I have is yours for the keeping
I know that’s old-fashioned
I know that it’s dull

you calm, you calm me

I don’t know why you don’t cry when you see me
did you ever see me
o did you believe in me?
now, looking down on us both from the ceiling
I know love conceals you
I know love reveals me

you, you, you calm, you calm me
