Valentine's song

I'm an orphan before I'm a son
and I'm nothin' if I am just one
but if we were two, I tell you what I'd do
I'd lay you down and blow out the sun.

And the moon is a fool for our kind
as I find you and we intertwine
soft lover's prayer, toss your hair
to let me know you are all mine.

But there's a branch in your mind a-bendin'
like a killer that ain't worth defendin'
like a thousand years of progress and tears
have now all come to their endin'.

I hold you to my chest like a charm
I hold you to keep you warm
and you are so small, you're like nothin' at all
like you were born to be in my arms.
