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
