lyrics

I have a little porcupine, his heart's big though he's small
He loves the world and wants to live it all
I have a little porcupine, he cuts me when I hug
He cries cause no one seems to show him love
And over my mountain there is a place where we can love
Our bodies are not among them, our armor cannot keep out the love

I have a little porcupine, he's sad he'll never know the tender touch
Of lovers in the snow
I have a little porcupine I wish that he could see
Without him how empty my life would be
And over my mountain, he'll see I love him still
Our bodies are not among them, no pain no tears no quill

I have a little porcupine, his heart's big though he's small
He loves the world and wants to live it all
I have a little porcupine, he cuts me when I hug
He cried cause no one seems to show him love

And over my mountain there is a place where we can love
Our bodies are not among them,

Our armor cannot keep out the love
Our armor cannot keep out the love
Your armor cannot keep out the love
Your armor cannot keep out my love
