I felt my life with both my hands
|
To see if it was there
|
I held my spirit to the glass
|
To prove it possibler
|
|
I turned my being round and round
|
And paused at every pound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
|
I judged my features, jelled my hair
|
I pushed my dimples by
|
And waited if they twinkled back
|
Conviction might of me
|
|
I turned my being round and round
|
And paused at every pound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
|
I told myself take courage, friend
|
That was a former time
|
But we might learn to like the Heaven
|
As well as our old home
|
|
I turned my being round and round and round
|
Paused at every pound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
To ask the owner's name
|
For doubt that I should know the sound
|
|
I felt my life with both my hands
|
To see if it was there
|
