Joel Porter - Little Tooth

[Intro]
To the willow where we started
Strung on humid air and evening dew
Where the wind and linen wander
I wonder

[Verse 1]
Do you hear my little tooth
Humming safe with the cicadas?
Sure a stable song could bate us
To baying at the moon?

[Verse 2]
Sweet the scent of sweat and lavender
As you crane over the bridge and water
On your nape, I trace your spots and markers
Oh, and I wonder

[Verse 3]
When did you become the heron?
Dive with grace to reincarnate
Let your little tooth depart with
A wither and a bloom

[Pre-Chorus]
New, sagacious, your reflection in the water
And I, afraid and just the same as when I started
Makes me wonder is it time to
[Chorus]
Pull my little tooth
Die and follow you
Through the wither and the bloom
Take me with you, love
Pull the tiny noose
Around my little tooth
Make a space for something new

[Bridge]
Take it with you love
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you

[Outro]
To the willow where we started
Hung on humid air and evening dew
Where the wind and linen wander
I wonder too
