All You Have to Do


You walk the world while you're sleeping
through the stormiest days,
navigate my moods
to my shipwreck of
heart and soul and spirit,
a woman ranting on the rocks
until she's had enough
of listening to Lou Reed
and cursing god and stuff.
You walk the world while you're sleeping.
You don't say a word
but still, you have your ways.
You don't have to declare it,
you never have to swear --
All you have to do is
what you are.
All you have to do is
be there.
