Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

 

Teach me how to walk like you
Barefoot unbothered by the dew
Your red sequoia spine and the wind that passes through

Can you teach me how to walk like you?

Teach me how to talk like that
Your words soar like a free-tailed bat
You dart around the world and safely come on back

Can you teach me how to talk like that?

Teach me how to stand so strong
To grab the earth and trust your song
You absorb the seismic waves that shake the ground you’re on

Can you teach me how to stand so strong?

Teach me how to love like this
Mmmmm...
You’re the zipped up nylon coat in this cold descending mist

Can you teach me how to love like this?

I don’t know what I’m doing
Can you write me out a list?
Can you teach me how to love like this?
