lyrics

Clouds pass and open closes
fold me in to your repose
if you can stand my fear

It is frightening to be knowing
there is darkness in our glowing
loneliness as we are near

What I ask, are the right reasons
more than just a lonely season
more than a warmer bed

How I ask while doubting something
now I beg you, while the one thing
hangs over my head

Feeling golden from the summer
knowing more than times we hummed or hawed
at our beating breast

Now we know what hearts are asking
we move forward without grasping
without the greedy guess

If you would take the blue from the sky
and bring it to the shore
I wont ask you why, but I won’t know what for

Not the fear that pulls us closer
or the nearness we impose
or anything so unjust

But just the way we move together
everything that makes us better
biggest, bravest trust

Not a promise for our lives
or anything so contrived
just hope that sings long

Rings bright and clear
comes to you to kiss your ear
just a lovely song

If you could see the world through my eyes
there would be nothing left to realize
