                                You come from far away
                               With pictures in your eyes
                           Of coffeeshops and morning streets
                              In the blue and silent sunrise
                                But night is the cathedral
                             Where we recognized the sign
                           We strangers know each other now
                               As part of the whole design

                                Oh, hold me like a baby
                                 That will not fall asleep
                                 Curl me up inside you
                           And let me hear you through the heat

                            You are the jester of this courtyard
                                With a smile like a girl's
                                Distracted by the women
                             With the dimples and the curls
                            By the pretty and the mischievous
                              By the timid and the blessed
                              By the blowing skirts of ladies
                         Who promise to gather you to their breast

                               Oh, hold me like a baby...

                             You have hands of raining water
                               And that earring in your ear
                                The wisdom on your face
                            Denies the number of your years
                              With the fingers of the potter
                             And the laughing tale of the fool
                                The arranger of disorder
                            With your strange and simple rules
                           Yes now I've met me another spinner
                              Of strange and gauzy threads
                              With a long and slender body
                               And a bump upon the head

                               Oh, hold me like a baby...

                              With a long and slender body
                             And the sweetest softest hands
                            And we'll blow away forever soon
                               And go on to different lands
                           And please do not ever look for me
                                But with me you will stay
                            And you will hear yourself in song
                                  Blowing by one day

                               Oh, hold me like a baby...
