Now You Know - Anaïs Mitchell

When I think about dying

I think about children

And when I think about children

I think about you

And when I think about you

I feel like crying

Crying for my youth

And when I think of my youth

I think of my freedom

And when I think of my freedom

I feel so alone

And when I feel lonely

I want you to hold me

Hold me in your arms

And when I think of your arms

I think about sleeping

Sleeping like a baby

All through the night

And then I think of the night

And I feel like weeping

Weeping for my life

And when I think of my life

I want to be with you

Shoulder to shoulder

When we’re waking up

And we’re waking up

And we’re one day older

And we’re making love

And when we make love

I think about children

And I think about dying

Lying in your arms

You want to know why I’m crying

Now you know
