Caroline Herring - Lover Girl Lyrics

Looking for a hand to hold

There to pull and push against

Even now we’re dancing

Longing for a place to know

Where branches reach, lantana grow

And butterflies take their poses



Come

My lover girl



Did you grow an inch today

Once you were a tiny thing

And before that God’s dream

Goodness comes to those who wait

Give them love, and sacrifice

Because it’s your turn now



Come

My lover girl



We’re as new as scheming eyes

We’re as old as mother and child

We’re as new as scheming eyes

We’re as old as mother and child



Just a little piece of us

Marveling at all of you

Head, heart, shoulder, shoulder

Go and close the drapes I made

Put your little hands together

And pray for your mama



Come

My lover girl
