I was broken, winged, and cast aside You were sugar cane, crystalized On the porch swing sipping summer through a straw, in my arms ♪ I was shattered glass and disarrayed You were moonrise on a sunny day On the porch swimming through a sea of air Just sipping there ♪ And I could hope that this would never change But I would miss the simple things taking place And I could pray that you'd stay by my side But wild things only go where the wind decides ♪ I curse the ground that rain would never fall You drop from heaven into open ponds I fought the feeling till at last the feeling won And it was done ♪ Well I cant wash away the dirt You're eyes see beneath that dusty earth On the ocean floor filling up the lungs With your love ♪ And I could hope this would never change But I would miss the simple things taking place And I could pray that you'd stay by my side But wild things go only where the wind decides ♪ Cause I could hope that this would never change But I would miss the simple things taking place And I could pray that you'd stay by my side But wild things go only where the wind decides
