lyrics

In the best room of her bright mind, catalogued by size and shape
She has treasured tales of flowers, knows each family of grape
In the starlight on the front porch, when her silent day is done
Bethy whispers little secrets, timid tales across her tongue
Across her tongue

Little words, little heard, little Beth (2x)

Watch her brown eyes in the morning, with her hand upon the door
She is deep breath, calculation, quiet glances to the floor
Watch her dig in, lift her head high, lift her silence like a shield
In those moments, how I love her, how I hurt for beauty sealed
For beauty sealed

I’m afraid that she’ll run deeper into silence,
when I leave before the spring
Will she lose herself in flowers? Will they sing?
