Choose My Company

[Lyrics: Beth Malcolm]

October knocked you over

In November I can’t remember you being so

You being sober

October knocked you over

In November I, in November I lost you

I lost you to the wolves

And I don’t know if you want me or if you want to run with the wolves

I don’t know if you can love me and simultaneously run with the wolves

If you choose my company, I will bathe you in honey my dear

If you choose my company, I will bathe you in honey my dear

December I remember

Icicles forming on the wall between you and me

January, I miraculously felt the wall melting to water

And your arms were the bridge

February, we stuck two fingers up to the full moon

For the first time, in a long time, I held the old you

In March you marched right out of the woods

You brought no wolves, you brought no wolves with you

Now I know that you want me and you don’t want to run with the wolves

Now I know that you can love me and simultaneously run with the wolves

And you chose my company and you bathed me in honey my dear

And you chose my company and you bathed me in honey my dear
