Pantoum for Baby Songtext
von Kris Gruen

All the men corral their prayers
Turn them into bright advice
Rub her feet and wash her hair
And do it day and night and twice

Turned into the right advice
I read the books and cook the meals
And did it day and night and twice
A deeper love had soon revealed


I read the books and cook the meals
And watch her grow at night in bed
A deeper love had soon revealed
To want for more than ego fed

I watch her grow at night in bed
Long taut packed and bronze
To want for more than ego fed
Her words as soft as lily ponds

Long taut packed and bronze
My hands begin to widen and warm
Her words as soft as lily ponds
To carry the sun and segue the storm


My hands begin to widen and warm
I rub her feet and wash her hair
We′ll carry the sun and segue the storm
All the men corral their prayers
