Caribou

When there’s love, we’ll show it true
When frustration shines on through
We know it’ll go away
Where were you when I needed you?
Ten years ago I was feeling blue
Bellicose, it went away
I come home and I wait for you
To howl above the stairs
And break on through
Like you just won the lottery
Of endless bones and broken wistful dreams
Now alive, 'til tomorrow comes
And I will carry you
When the sun shines through the moon
Still I will carry you, caribou
Our little family so finely tuned
No little sticks or stones to tend a bruise
Or a break, not today
When I’m tired from a long, hard day
You are there to help me shake it off
And embrace the night
