When I Wanted a Pillow

When I trudged through the mud with a yoke around my neck
You gave me boots and pushed me and provided me a map
When I drifted, like a wraith, blustered by the wind and torn
You gave me a stone and horizon I could see

When my skin started to flake from dotting 'i's & crossing 't's
You lifted up my shoulders and straightened out my head
When the blue light burned from the day on through the night
You taught me stretch, a bit of yoga in the morning

You were my rock when I wanted a pillow
When I wanted to wallow you threw me a towel!
When the water closed over me, you taught me apnea
When I wanted to whimper, you told me to growl

Don't gimme, gimme what I want
Just gimme gimme what I need
Don't gimme, gimme what I want
Just gimme gimme what I need

Tú fuiste mi roca y te quería de almohada
Cuando pedía que me contemplaras
¡Lo que me diste fue un empujón!
Cuando sentía que me iba hundir
Tomamos curso de buceo
Cuando quería quedarme gimiendo
Me pusiste a rugir

I don't need what I want,
At times it takes a burning bush & sometimes only a seed
Ooo, oooh, what I want, but you know what I need,
Sometimes it takes a burning bush, sometimes only a seed

You were my rock
...When I wanted a pillow.
When the water closed over me
...You taught me to growl.

You were my rock when I wanted a pillow
When I wanted to wallow you threw me a towel!
When the water closed over me, you taught me apnea
When I wanted to whimper, you told me to growl

I don't need what I want, but you know what I need
Sometimes it takes a burning bush, sometimes only a seed

Lo que yo quiero no necesito, sabes bien lo que me sirve más.
Aunque lo ignoro, o así lo intento ¡Contra eso jamás ganaré!
