Make Me A Song - Eleanor Friedberger

A pre-dawn song

To open up the ground

We found the sound

Now give me a song

I could love you more

I could love you more

It’s not about being pretty

It ain’t about being perfect

It’s that little piece of matter

The tough-hided being

I could love you more

I could love you more

Make me song

Make me a sound

Vibrate, resonate

It takes the ear to hear the waves

And the heart to know your fears, so fear it

There’s no hiding here

I could love you more

I could love you more

A song to see what he’s saying

Do you see what I’m saying?

If there’s no seeing of the saying

You’re missing the something

I could love you more

I could love you more

It’s not about three songs fast

Or two medium ones

It’s about the sun’s atmosphere

It’s about sonic boom

I could love you more

I could love you more

Make me song

Make me a sound

Vibrate, resonate

It takes the ear to hear the waves

And the heart to know your fears, so fear it

There’s no hiding here

I could love you more

I could love you more

Two hundred and fifty-three octaves below Middle C

There’s a B-flat where a wave every year

I could love you more

I could love you more

Let us dance up that water

Let us have ears to hear

A song to agree with

A song to cheer

I could love you more

I could love you more

Make me song

Make me a sound

Make me song

Make me a sound

Vibrate, resonate

Make me song

Make me a sound
