passing it down...
I carry you with me
I carry you with me here
      right here, in this tender spot
      in this hollow space
I carry you with me

I carry you on the tip of my tongue
      just on the tip...
     so that I can carry you with me here 
     in my words
     in my sounds
    - there- that word, that sound  
     said just as you would
     just as you have
    because I carry you with me
