When I give these books away

Will my ink betray me?

Will my stories resist wings and grow feet?And convince me that I′m boasting?

Or will my psalms seek the company of lonely breaths?

Will they inspire subtle lovers to kiss with mouths?

They don't have yet

Boy, whoever reads about how much I adore you

I hope my words bring them something new

Something new

Ooh, child bless your heart

Keep a tender heart

Heart

Heart

With you, I can empty myself of all my rivers

And become a remarkable sky

How could I keep these love documents to myself?

How could I restrict what′s given me life?

Today, I'll find a kind and burrowing creature

That can carry these pages until browned

He'll recite the details of your love with his family

And what was once a whisper will become a deep rumbling sound

Ooh, child bless your heart

Keep a tender heart (I′ll keep a tender heart)

Heart

Heart

Heart (oh, I′ll keep a tender heart)

Heart

Boy, thank you for showing me how to be gentle (heart)

(Heart) I have courage to share your love boldly

(Heart)

(Heart)
