|
I heard love can fall so hard, it can bury a kingdom |
|
I heard it makes the spring appear out of season |
|
It's a storm in a shadowbox, a force to be reckoned with, |
|
When it finds you and find you, it will. |
|
And I'd not believed it til I loved, I love |
|
The rivers sing and stars awaken above me |
|
And the wind and the moon in fits of restless conspiring |
|
Turn night to heaven for you. |
|
But I am going to a far, far land |
|
I know it sure as I've a past and a future |
|
With my maps on the table, you see, I have lost many things |
|
So many I won't turn back. |
|
And were I a deadwood ship, my heart a compass |
|
I would leave with inanimate grace, no love could touch me |
|
But I live and I know that I'll burn as I grow |
|
Though it might break my heart to walk away and so |
|
As a moon may adore you and remain, high moon |
|
The wind may crown your head with leaves, and keep blowing |
|
So I'll stop and I'll watch you, for I love, I love |
|
And then be on my way. And then be on my way. |
