"sentinel" lyrics

He takes his time (What he do)
Takes his time (What he do)
Moves no quicker than this bass line
Sings to his flower as he showers
I'm in awe, in awe

Oh, sentinel of my heart
Where do you come from?
Are you your grandfather's favorite grandson?
Who did I do right by?
How, how, how did I find a man with such gentle eyes?

Now the name I was given
Is no longer fitting
Call me satisfied
I am not who I was
Who knew I'd find love
Call me satisfied

He takes his time time (Tell us more)
Takes his time (Tell us more)
My man's thorough as this bass line
Loves me like it's the law
Transcribes our phone calls
And I choose him
I choose him

I'm the sentinel's student
He is shaping me
Now I've overgrown the graveyard, set the sorrow free
He marshals street lights and stars
Does this so that our love won't get lost when we're local or when
We're far

Now the name I was given
Is no longer fitting
Call me satisfied
I am not who I was
Who knew I'd find love
Call me satisfied

The name I was given
Is no longer fitting

Call me
Please, call me satisfied
He's the sentinel of our heart
The sentinel of our heart
Yes, he has our heart

He's the sentinel of our heart
