O Little Heart
Phil Elverum
Oh? What's this?
Are you my heart
And are you thumping?
Oh my heart
Oh there you are
I’d stopped hunting
I thought you would be as big as a whale
My nets were knit
My harpoons armed
I had my ship sailed
And oh my heart
There you are:
Mouse nest in my hair
Oh my heart
Stowaway
I'd stop looking
Oh sleepy heart
What do you say?
Should we keep thumping?
(yes)
