Because I love you,
because I love you,
I closed my door one morning
and I started walking.
Because I love you,
because I love you,
I left the mountains
and I came to the sea.
Your name pleases me like grass
which grows in the valley
with sunstroke and the heavy fall of rain.
Your name has me tied
on a fold of your waistband
and on the bias of your underskirt.
Because I love you,
because I love you,
although you are far away
I feel you on the edge of my skin.
Because I love you,
because I love you,
it is made much shorter
the far away road.
Your name pleases me like grass
which grows in the valley
with sunstroke and the heavy fall of rain.
Your name has me tied
on a fold of your waistband
and on the bias of your underskirt.
Because I love you,
because I love you,
my voice breaks the the sky
in its clearing.
Because I love you,
because I love you,
I'm leaving those mountains
and I'm coming to the sea.
