little wish prayer

wish you keep your eyes closed tonight
your body takes its time to heal
your dreams are fresh and free
green grass in a clean meadow
green grass in a clean meadow

wish you settle those little bones
let them stir most gently
i'm with you even when i'm not
like the soft thrum of cars
passing outside, that kind of tide

wish you never want for anything
wish you strive for everything
wish i'm always what you need
and the hurt i feel deep down that i could ever not be it
that i could ever not be it for you

i would do anything

wish you keep your eyes closed tonight
your body takes its time to heal
your dreams are fresh and free
green grass in a clean meadow
green grass in a clean meadow
