lyrics

High above the evergreens
And porch lights in their bloom
Hangs a sickle star of rock
That brings me back to you
That crescent brightness in the air
Which never shies from view
Except at times when clouds appear
Or births again anew

The old cliché, it’s what they say
When lovers are apart
“Look upon in unison
To ease your restless heart”
But Luna’s rays, they stir up waves
And tides that won’t depart
A swelling sea of loneliness
That I knew well from the start

And somewhere in a bedroom
You lay down, smell perfume
That drifts about in space unset
Like swirling tongues that pirouette

And in that way I’m there with you
To guide you through your deja vu
Until a gust from outside breaks the
Pane of memory that aches

For kisses without urgency
Embraces so untouched by need
Effortless talk in time unbound
By the stress that miles cause us now

If nothing else, pick up the phone
Put your anxious faith in dial tones
Tell me of your day in sweet free verse
And let your dismal thoughts run their course

And curse the pace of first and second hands
The seasons change but follow no demands
I’d give it all away if I could fly
And see my own reflection in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
