C G6
My mind may drift from the walls of my skin
C G6
But I will not wander too far
C G6
For those who are pulled by the ivory sun
C G6
Know that home is a labor of fire
Am G6
And I may have nursed their honey-bright wounds
C G6 Am
And cradled their rhythms to rest
C G6
But I am no dreamer
C G6 Am
I could not keep my hands clean
C G6
So I will not grieve those bent to receive
C G6
Seeds that could never be sown
C G6
And I will not lust those courtesies past
C G6
They have flickered but not chosen me
Am G6
And when they march by in their motherly smiles
C G6 Am
Swaying their motherly hips
C G6
I cannot follow
C G6 Am
I cannot keep their pace

C G6
Time has a way of stealing our breath
C G6
And milking the light from our pores
C G6
And many will fill their oak barrel wombs
C G6
With patience instead of desire
Am G6
One cannot curse a crow for her course
C G6 Am
Or choose where her feathers may fall
C G6
I am no swallow
C G6
I am no spring bird
