lyrics

Brush Your Hair

If you step right to me I will brush your hair
Hangin’ on me, hangin’ on me, O Lord!
Pull yourself together and sit right there.
Hangin’ on you hangin’ on me, baby.

It’s not my place to give away
where you’ll go when you leave this face.
Stars all shine inside your eyes
but when you go, I’ll be by your side

And if you step right to me I will brush your hair
Hangin’ on me, hangin’ on me, O Lord!
Pull yourself together—for what do you care?
What’s hangin’ on you, hangin’ on you, baby?

Bones legs skin pressurized,
you’re a walking drum how you swing and slide.
I watch, watch you grow,
no this ain’t mine, love, it’s all your show.

Go, my baby
Walk the earth as tenderly as
All the dogs and the coyotes howl
I’ll be there if you need me.
Darling, I’ll sur-render completely
Till my own bones are weakly
And it’s plain that I need thee—

Now could you step right to me, would you brush my hair?
I’m hangin’ on you, hangin’ on you, O Lord!
Pulled myself together, what I had I shared
now I’m hangin’ on you hangin’ on me, baby.
