The only way to hold on to this love is with an open hand.
|
You told me that the first day we met. I didn't understand.
|
|
Beneath the broad-beamed boughs, your love changed: a slow coming apart.
|
You moved on and I stayed the same. I was trailing from the start.
|
|
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself.
|
We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else. And we wished for nothing else.
|
|
And through the crossbeams whispers were heard: undoing in every line.
|
And in the fall you flew little bird but I'll see you when it's time.
|
|
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself.
|
We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else. And we wished for nothing else.
|
|
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself.
|
We suffered heartache after heartache but we wished for nothing else. We wished for nothing else.
