I love you like the stretch in the evening The years I spent just believing That you’re the one I appreciate Now everything is pulling me into that state Where I see the land as a living, breathing being It’s a complete change in the manner of seeing And you’re just like a dream to be woken up to I was a different person before I met you And I’m not so sure who I am anymore Do you remember the days you called to my door You didn’t knock, you just walked in And I double took the look of him As he sits in my favorite place to rest Like he’s on some solitary quest And I just want you to know That I’m somewhere you can always go If you like, just for a cup of tea You opened my eyes and now I see All that was hidden before Though you don’t call round anymore I still carry you in my heart I don’t think we’re ever apart
You’re an endless inspiration and I’m a hopeless muse
You are the bulletproof that blows apart the fuse
And there is a design that machinates the whole
There is a forever that sits inside my soul
As we in matching colours go our separate ways
And the night comes every evening at the end of days
And apocalypse the moment as fire rains on me
Because I understand that we are history
I was raised in a land with beautiful skies
And got lost in a moment of heated goodbyes
But ever the optimist to shine on the age
The sun kisses the horizon each turn of a page
So walk down to the water with me for a stroll
As we watch the fish swim and the waves as they roll
As the little grass grows up all around
Here in this silence there isn’t a sound
And you can taste years and the weight of it all
From the height of your flight to the inevitable fall
Cause all things born of earth and all things born of time
Will return to the hearth of the fire sublime
