Yours Is Not A Simple Name To Say (1995)

Yours is not a simple name to say
It shudders on my tongue
And hangs there til I feel its weight
It flutters, I've begun
You've placed some heavy lace upon my face
Upturned and streaked with wet
You've traced your fingers to my hand
I've learned I've peaked and yet

Can I come full circle babe
Or will I trap my dreams
Trap my dreams inside of me?
Can I round the curve?

I've spent two much time apart from myself
I've touched the cold in fear of night
I've held some people down just to kiss them all good bye
I've never done it right

So yours is not an easy name to say
It holds me to my word
It keeps me close to who I am
It flutters like a bird
