Dear One Lyrics - Heart On My Sleeve - Mary Lambert

Where did you come from, bright star 

What heaven did you leap from, dear love 

How can I spell your name without the sound of 

Autumn underneath my tongue 

Without acknowledging the lovers who bent me in half 

Bless them for bringing me to you 

How can I say your name without 

Also breathing the words, my God, I found you 

How can I ever speak again with this mouth 

When it has found where it belongs 

When you touch me 

I am a bed of calla lilies 

I will make a house for you and fill it with evergreens 

I will paint sunsets on every wall 

So you can only see beautiful things 

How can I say "love" without wanting to fold myself into you 

Like a thousand paper cranes 

Dear one 

I was halved the moment I was born 

The other piece of me is inside of your mouth 

And I was found whole the moment you spoke
