Creatures

[Verse 1] Well, I've lived a short life Not a lot of things that I've seen But in that short life Lot of things that I've been [Verse 2] I've been a daughter And a sister too I've been in trouble And I've been in love with you [Chorus 1] We are all just creatures, baby Fumbling towards the light And I'm crawling on my knees now, baby Won't you make my heart alright? Won't you make my heart alright? [Verse 3] Well there is an old house That I think about sometimes With all its creaky floorboards And height marks of an outgrown child [Verse 4] But it burnt down sometime ago Or so it would seem And I still see its dying colors In the Autumn leaves [Chorus 2] And we are all just creatures, baby Longing to be free And if we're all just creatures, baby Won't you give your heart to me? Won't you give your heart to me? [Verse 5] Well, I swim in the river Only once or twice each year But I found that the river It was often insincere [Verse 6] So now I dip my toes in Still expecting to get wet But without my whole body My fate, it has been set [Chorus 3] And we are all just creatures, baby Blinded by our fears If you're scared of love, now, baby You'll know only loneliness and fear Only loneliness and fear [Outro] And I may only be a creature But I'm still fumbling towards the light
