A Beast in a Barn Songtext

von Diane Cluck

And if i touch your plane as a beast in the barn
To siphon its heat and in that way keep warm
Warm and slow and gentle and sweet
If i move to you to siphon your heat
Will i feel you
Giving it simply to me
Effortless
And silently
Or will i be read through the glass of mistrust
Like men
Who make passes when drunk in disgust
Revealing the captive
They've kept up their need
A horrible flower
A beautiful seed
Who would not recoil
From this face off
And though i'm afraid i might feel you withdraw
I like to think
Of the beast in the barn
That breathed on the baby
To keep him all warm
I know in my heart
I am innocent too
I cannot make my defense to you
Beyond what i say
Beyond what i do
So i move to you
Like the beast in the barn
There are holes in the roof
And outside the storm
Since some of it snowed out to
Rest on your coat
I bend my head
To the heat of your throat
And as i move to you
You move to me
Effortless
And silently
