run like a race for family
when you hear like you`re alone
the rusty gears of morning
and faceless, busy phones
we gladly run in circles
but the shape we meant to make is gone
and love is a tired symphony
you hum when you`re awake
and love is a crying baby
mama warned you not to shake
and love`s the best sensation
hiding in the lion`s mane
so i`ll clear the road, the gravel
and the thornbush in your path
that burns a scented oil
that i`ll drip into your bath
the water`s there to warm you
and the earth is warmer when you laugh
and love is the scene i render
when you catch me wide awake
and love is the dream you enter
though i shake and shake and shake you
and love`s the best endeavor
waiting in the lion`s mane
