Dream Daughter

[Verse 1]
Our dream daughter
Candle on the altar
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
You grew taller
Taller than I am
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand

[Chorus]
Who are you?
Who would you have been?
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen

[Verse 2]
One wing open
I took off in slow motion
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
The clouds broke
Well, heaven took my throat
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die

[Chorus]
Who are you?
Who would you have been?
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen

[Verse 3]
Just cold water
The shadow's getting longer
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
I took all the blankets
And slept out in the yard
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars

[Chorus]
Who are you?
Who would you have been?
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen, fly away
