Description: My belly button was always very sensitive, more than a metaphor. When I was little I tried to open it up, to see if I could find the button that would put me in touch with my mother. I never told her about that, she was always there anyway.

about

My belly button was always very sensitive, more than a metaphor. When I was little I tried to open it up, to see if I could find the button that would put me in touch with my mother. I never told her about that, she was always there anyway.

lyrics

I met this girl a life ago
the biblical fox from outer space
the sea the night the sweet sweet flow
I flew her home and dreamt of her face

I prayed she'd make my world feel right
and guide me safely home at night
fill my eyes with her warming light
and guide me safely home

Sailing ships and shifting sands
and eating four leaf clover
helping me to understand
the need to turn things over

I prayed she'd make my world feel right
and guide me safely home at night
fill my eyes with her warming light
and guide me safely home

The hardest thing I said was
"good bye ol' Umbilical"
settle in to fluid equilibrium
cos if you give too much
then it's not real love

Boy and girl stand on the ground
astounded at their innocence
the wisdom gained from falling down
has made us only present tense

She makes my small world feel so right
and guides me safely home at night
fills my eyes with her warming light
and guides me safely home
