[00:06.53] Dear One
[00:08.63] Where did you come from, bright star
[00:11.68] What heaven did you leap from, dear love
[00:14.69] How can I spell your name without the sound of
[00:17.14] Autumn underneath my tongue
[00:19.50] Without acknowledging the lovers who bent me in half
[00:22.78] Bless them for bringing me to you
[00:24.84] How can I say your name without
[00:27.15] Also breathing the words, my God, I found you
[00:29.79] How can I ever speak again with this mouth
[00:32.63] When it has found where it belongs
[00:34.44] When you touch me
[00:36.23] I am a bed of calla lilies
[00:37.80] I will make a house for you and fill it with evergreens
[00:41.35] I will paint sunsets on every wall
[00:44.24] So you can only see beautiful things
[00:46.48] How can I say "love" without wanting to fold myself into you
[00:50.43] Like a thousand paper cranes
[00:52.84] Dear one
[00:54.62] I was halved the moment I was born
[00:58.24] The other piece of me is inside of your mouth
[01:01.04] And I was found whole the moment you spoke
