Cocoon by Björk is from album Vespertine, 2001.
Cocoon is a song gracefully erotic. Beautiful. Here's the lyrics.
Who would have known : that a boy like him would have entered me lightly restoring my blisses Who would have known : that a boy like him after sharing my core would stay going nowhere Who would have known : a beauty this immense who would have known : a saintly trance who would have known : miraculous breath to inhale a beard loaded with courage Who would have known : that a boy like him possessed of magical sensitivity would approach a girl like me who carresses cradles his head in a bosom He slides inside half awake / half asleep we faint back into sleephood when i wake up the second time in his arms : gorgeousness! he's still inside me! who would have known A train of pearls cabin by cabin is shot precisely across an ocean from a mouth From a mouth of a girl like me To a boy To a boy To a boy
See Cocoon music video at Bjork's site: http://unit.bjork.com/specials/cocoon/. I didn't find the video as good as her video of Pagan Poetry.
