Dream Daughter

[Verse 1]

Our dream daughter

Candle on the altar

Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right

You grew taller

Taller than I am

In white light from her breast, I touched your hand

[Chorus]

Who are you?

Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen

[Verse 2]

One wing open

I took off in slow motion

Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb

The clouds broke

Well, heaven took my throat

With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die

[Chorus]

Who are you?

Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen

[Verse 3]

Just cold water

The shadow's getting longer

Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right

I took all the blankets

And slept out in the yard

Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars

[Chorus]

Who are you?

Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen, fly away
