Essence

Cocteau Twins · Four Calendar Cafe [1993]

I don't have to be specific when I wanna hug you

You had a natural right to be born to become

Yes having my small niece becomes acceptable to me

I'd feel angry had I lost you

And can't imagine where you might be



Where do baby leaves go when they die

Oh, why I do not mourn

God is a feeling of loving yourself

You're precious to me, you know that



Stretch in your arms

Wrap 'em 'round tight

Loving myself

With all my might



Where do baby leaves go when they die

Oh, why I do not mourn

God is a feeling of loving yourself

You're precious to me, you know that



Take a look inside you'll see

See how I'm doing

A message, something says to me

Tells me I'm right

So you want a potion to send me away

Daddy, my love, cannot get in today
