All the storms and oceans
|
All the sheltering sky
|
All this earth and she and I
|
|
Wait, until it happens
|
Wait, the moment will come
|
Wait, but all those are already one
|
|
And she asks me, how many sunrises
|
Will we watch from start to finish
|
How many will we witness?
|
|
And my answers are only ever surmises
|
Maybe a handful of times
|
Before the next life, before the next life
|
|
Here, we stop beneath the leaves
|
Here, a moment to stay
|
Here, a gift of pale green color, here above her
|
|
And she asks me, how many sunrises
|
Will we watch from start to finish
|
How many will we witness?
|
|
And my answers are only ever surmises
|
Maybe a handful of times
|
Before the next life
|
|
A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song
|
She won't try to tell me, what's right from wrong
|
A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss
|
She won't try to tell me, I need more than this
|
|
All my answers, all my surmises
|
Will never do it justice
|
She'll just have to trust it
|
|
Wait here, 'til the sun rises
|
Watch from start to finish
|
No one as our witness
|
With no one as our witness
|
|
