From the recording The Gospel of Tree Bark
Lyrics
Jess’ Song
by Anna Fritz
Please understand that I’m happy
here by myself.
I’m pretty good company, if I do say so
and the bed is wide and soft.
Please understand I don’t need you
here by my side.
I feel your breathing clear cross the country
and your breath is my breath is the air.
But when I wake to your sweet skin
on my sleepy cheek,
when your smile cracks open my morning,
I start the new day
with thanks on my lips
and gratefulness in my heart
and gratefulness in my heart
and gratefulness..
