Steady Heart from Songbouquet by joy burklund & her band

Do you remember when
In the supermarket
I smashed a full glass bottle of mayonnaise
it splattered on my hot pink dress
I was so upset
You had to take me (cryin) in
A full pietà on aisle 6?

Do you remember when
We had a hurricane
Between the left and right brain?
It made you tired,
Made me wanna write my name
And I blew loose two sheets of shame
Till we came back together
Swirling under the bed frame?

and when I wince to wander into nightmares to heavy
I’m fed some threads straight from the head of the one who’s loving me
And the sticky rest I try to twang into a tree

Sweet steady heart
Steady heart
Steady

Do you remember when
We were a little stream a line dug between
(Dividing and connecting)
One land mass and the next
Do you remember how it felt so vast
To begin, to let loose a fumbling try?

And won’t you remember how
I don't think of you just as a place or a man
I think of us as a dance
backs balanced and breathing entranced?
Feet tangled sheets for our map.

And when I tend to stumble into orbits to heavy
I’m fed some threads straight from the head of someone who’s loving me
And the sticky rest I try to twang into a tree

Sweet steady heart
How you plucked me (ripe n ready)
Sweet steady heart

Sweet steady heart

Do you remember when
We went for a walk?
Let’s go on a walk right now.
