The Body Descends Songtext

von Julia Brown

The body descends, I should have let it
The strongest love I've felt in my life
She said 'I was born into this life to suffer
And suffer I will
But if you had to do it all again
Without knowing you'd make it through
Do you think you'd make it?
No, I don't think I would'
My heart is the leaves
My body the trees
& it's Halloween
Two thousand eight
I'm strung out again
My body descends
& I'm having this dream
Every night
A room with a view
A room with some light
A stoic front porch
Some mountains outside.
I am what I'm not, my problems are God's
When the body descends, we both sit and watch
& the strongest love I've felt in my life
Rises up from the dark
To pull me aside
& across the room
& out in the hall
& outside my house
& out in the yard
