Lyrics

[00:08.90] I remember driving down
[00:12.82] The rutted roads late at night
[00:18.40] Following the summer moon
[00:22.60] Bright as any pair of headlights
[00:27.26] I felt the air on my face
[00:32.10] And the night pressed inside my palm
[00:37.90] A moment captured in a place
[00:41.61] This memory stays strong
[00:45.21]
[00:46.48] Oh my darling oh my love
[00:51.15] Oh my darling oh my love
[00:56.70] Oh my darling oh my love
[01:01.00] The things that we are made of
[01:04.42]
[01:10.47] And I remember feeling
[01:14.93] I'm alive and in no need of saviors
[01:20.24] If the past's another country
[01:24.74] I'm at the border with my papers
[01:29.63] Where is your heart if not inside you
[01:34.26] Where is home or are you lost
[01:39.40] Where is love if not beside you
[01:43.76] I had no answers but they let me cross
[01:47.19]
[01:48.39] Oh my darling oh my love
[01:53.28] Oh my darling oh my love
[01:58.40] Oh my darling oh my love
[02:03.80] The things that we are made of
[02:06.35]
[02:07.64] Like the silence of my shadow
[02:12.44] When the twilight world is calling
[02:17.42] The loneliness that knows me
[02:21.96] By the cadence of my walking
[02:26.57] And the scar upon my elbow
[02:31.52] And the sound of my own breathing
[02:36.25] My reflection in a window
[02:40.69] And the way I'm always leaving
[02:45.64]
[03:28.65] And I remember wishing
[03:33.40] For some other life than this one I've claimed
[03:38.15] How often I have been convinced
[03:42.73] How eagerly I'd make that trade
[03:47.16] Then all at once I see your face
[03:52.50] And the summer night and the open door
[03:57.90] Dimmer now but not erased
[04:01.24] And I know what these are for
[04:04.66]
[04:05.85] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:10.84] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:15.88] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:20.59] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:24.74] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:29.46] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:34.23] Oh my darling oh my love
[04:38.82] The things that we are made of
