Wild one, don't go back inside
wild woman said that you'll be fine.
The ancient souls they talk to me
said you chipped your golden heart at sea
now you're feeling so afraid.
Tangled bones, washed up at the shore
I'm leaving all my troubles at the door.
The lovers I hear they're tired
from running away from themselves
from running from what keeps them them wild
from what keeps them held together.
Tell me what did you come here for
when you walked right through my door?
Tell me what did you come here for?
Wild woman rocking left and right
singing don't be shy, don't be shy
and the wilderness it speaks to me
I found God sitting in a tree, just breathing.
Waking bird, the flocks all going home
you don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone anymore.
and I'm singin I am not you, I am not me
and when they found me at that tree I was just being
I was just being.
