Let's Get Lyrical: Normal Man

I think of this song as 'the Jaya song' because I was recording it as my friend's baby, Jaya, was coming into the world. Specifically, I was ridiculously recording a one-woman-army of hand claps--similar activity to giving birth, right?
Oddly (as it is a song about my cold, unfeeling heart) this song gives my heart warm little pangs of sweet memory. It's about a dear old friend who was anything but a normal man.
I hope he's okay whereever he is now.
Normal Man
It had been snowing all day
Blanketing the city
Night fell and I knew
That his plane would be here soon.
All day my heart had stirred
At the words that I had heard
Calling like some normal man
Oh to touch his soft hands.
Covered in snow
Always, always
I don't know
How to let go.
Everything was still and white
Our tracks the first that night
He wanted to taste the snow
I wanted to let him go.
Covered in snow
Always, always
I don't know
I don't know.
Covered in snow
Always, always
I don't know
How to let go.
Covered in snow
Always, always
I don't know
How to let him go.
