I'm Too Close

I'm too close for him to dream about me
 I don't flutter over him
 Not fleeing him under the roots of trees
 I'm too close
 I'm too close for him to dream about me
 I don't flutter over him
 Not fleeing him under the roots of trees
 I'm too close
 Not with my voice sings the captured fish
 The ring doesn't roll from my finger
 Too close for him to enter as a guest
 Before whom the walls part
 I'm too close for him to dream about me
 Riches rust in density
 Fallen the leaves
 Bare are the roots of trees
 I'm too close
 Never again will I die so readily
 So far beyond the flesh, so inadvertently
 Too close, too close, I hear the hiss and see the glittering husk
 Immobilized in his embrace
 Poor me limited to my own form
 But I was a birch tree
 I was a lizard
 I emerged from satins and sundials
 My skin shimmering in all the different colors
 I possessed the grace to disappear from astonished eyes
 I'm too close, I'm too close
 Too close, I'm too close
 I'm too close for him to dream about me
 All those peacock eggs I've laid
 Fill up the room
 He can't see them, he can't see me
 I'm to close
 I'm too close for him, hiding my skin
 Too much flesh and blood for him
 He yearns to one, yet to be seen
 In this night too close
 A valley now grows in her for him, ochre-leaved
 Out of reach closed off by a snowy mountain
 In the azure air, I'm too close
 To fall out of the sky for him
 My screams would only awaken him
 I'm too close, I'm too close
 Too close, I'm too close
