Body Below Lyrics - Advisory Committee - Mirah

There's a story I could tell when the cold wind starts to blow 

Like a whisper in the night from a friend that you know 

It says, "Keep holding on to my body below 

Forsake me not, don't ever leave me alone" 

There was a time when the sun gave its life to the trees 

And the air it smelled sweeter for the honey and the bees 

The ocean rolled salty and wild and free 

The fruit swelled and ripened and burst with their seeds 

But what starts with desire can turn into need 

The chest gets all tight like it's got some disease 

What burns in the fire just ends up as coals 

What floats on the water can sink like a stone 

Now I want to believe every word that you say 

I want you to need me to not go away 

Have trust in the nighttime and faith in the day 

To walk on the water, be never afraid 

Can you bear it upon you? My love has gone under 

Above all the stars have forgotten to glow 

But if you keep holding on to my body below you 

I'll warm you and keep you from feeling alone 

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone 

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone 

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone 

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone 

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
