If it were up to me to build this place

 Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter

 And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste

 And soak up all the Finger Lakes

 So I could straighten the lines

 Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.

 And if I was told to know my place

 Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours

 And I would use those lines I drew to get real close

 A finger on my pulse because

 I think that it's strongest there

 Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.

'Cos I do not belong to the night

Mystery or song or moonlight

 To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do

 Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

 If the ground should start to break

 Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones

 To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands

 Would plant themselves in door frames and

 Each other or at least I hope

 With each other, or at least I hope they would.

'Cos I do not belong to the night

Mystery or song or moonlight

 To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do

 Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

 If any part of us should start to die

 I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there

 For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try

 That nothing is just born to die

 'Cos I think that we'd all just wait

 Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true.

'Cos I do not belong to the night

Mystery or song or moonlight

 To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do

 Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

 I belong to you

 I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
