Artist: Devendra Banhart

Album: What Will We Be

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Devendra Banhart, Paul Butler, Noah Georgeson, Luckey Remington, Greg Rogove

One above heaven under
One for thirst, one for hunger
I am the dark, you are the thunder
I am the doubt, you are the wonder

Since time began
You've been the long time man
Mama ain't it grand
That I get to be the fool again?
I get to be the fool again

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too?
And every kiss that I don't give
Another life that I don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey

Love is light ignited
And everyone is invited

But if you don't ever try
How can you give it one more try?
If you don't ever, ever try
How can you give it one more try?
Give it one more try

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too?
'Cause every kiss that we don't give
Another life that we don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when we do

Rats
