I say
I swear
Everytime she sings
From behind her
Shoots a flock of birds
And her name
Whispers from their wings
I say
Oh, how I swear
When she walks
Every step she takes
Leaves in her wake
Footprints that talk
And they all talk about her
They say her name
As if it’s she who adds
Unto the fire
A white-blue flame
Unto the fire
A white-blue flame

I say
I swear
Every breath she takes
The clouds in storm
The clouds, they shift
Until the letters of her name they form
And I say
Oh, how I swear
She bats her eyes
It isn’t fair
The butterflies
Form ‘round her hair
And flap their wings
To the hum of Alexa
