D.G. Scherrer - It's a Bastard to Be Lonely

I Named You for a Song

Schools are named for teachers, streets are named for trees
Girls are named for songs that boys sing on their knees
I named you for some letters scratched in trees
I named you for a song that begs for tender mercies

I named you for the water on my kissing little tongue
I named you for the wind in my crying little lungs
I named you for the life's work of honey bees
I named you for a song that begs for tender mercies

I named you for the numbers on a little slip of paper
I named you for a wish, I named you for the words I would whisper
Half weeping, when I could not sleep
"Help me keep her, help me keep her..."

Schools are named for teachers, streets are named for trees
Girls are named for songs that cry, "Baby please"
I named you for a warm wash of memories
I named you for a song that begs and begs and begs...
