Paper Bird - I Want You lyrics

I need to live by the water
I need my head to be an empty room
I need a creek without a bottom
To throw my stones into a silent machine
To produce a silver-sounding tune
That fills the veins of bodies
Makes them float like weather balloons
I watch them with pieces of
String tied to their toes
With tags attached
That carry their wishes to the moon

Building a spaceship that runs on all
The little bit's of memory
Stuffed in trunks of poplar trees in '93
This phone call couldn't be further away
The line is broken, therе's nothing to say
Behind the canal
The housеs are blocking the bay
Take your bones that have grown
Out of every home
Show me how slow I could live
If I choose to destroy the ship, rebuild it
Use clay and stone
Make a house to withstand the storm
I mean our own
The one that breaks far more than our bones

And I want i want

Winston's wearing his ancient feathers
As long as I can remember
At least since I rode the little red bike
In endless eights through summer nights
And sung the music from the tape
Oh, you'll grow up to be a warrior
It's never too late
Especially if you're a boy
You're instantly employed
I was afraid and I still am
Of the big escape, the dissonance
The missing breaks, the broken hands
The loss of you in black quicksand
The choir sung a soft, soft song:
"Wa-hi ah hi ah hi ah ho, "
"Wa-hi ah hi ah hi ah ho, "
"Wa-hi ah hi ah hi ah hi ah ho"

I want you i want you
And I want you and I want you
I want you and I want you
And I want
