lyrics

Chorus
How I love, how I love when you are still
Like a bird, like a bird on my windowsill
Like a bee, like a bee in a daffodil
How I love, how I love when you are still

Still as a bee
Yes, then I can see
Why I fell for you way back when

You are so beautiful
I’ve tried to be dutiful
To the lovers that we might have been

Chorus

‘Cause when you’re still
Then I can fill
You up like a pitcher with no brim

Still water shows
Us what we know--
Our dreams however inarticulate and dim

Chorus

‘Cause when we talk
Amidst corn stalks
You sway as they do with the breeze

The world I’ve built
It walks on stilts
Oh watch how it falls down with such ease

Chorus
