about

The wanderer is found, comforted, then finds himself just as lost.

lyrics

First came the good news
in the way that you said,
"I am your home, I made you this bed."
I fell asleep smiling,
and I wasn't alone.

Then came the bad news
in the way that you said,
"I am your home, I made you this bed."
I fell asleep smiling,
though I wasn't alone.
No, I wasn't alone.

I found your heart was an orphanage heart.

You knew I was an orphan
held my head as I wept
I listened to your heartbeat
under your soft breast.
You said, "I am your home."
I listened to you hum
some beautiful song.
It made me come,
and it made me calm.

You didn't make me but I came
over a black country under a net of soft lights.
All dressed up in clothes I thought you'd like.
