All the storms and oceans

All the sheltering sky

All this earth and she and I



Wait, until it happens

Wait, the moment will come

Wait, but all those are already one



And she asks me, how many sunrises

Will we watch from start to finish

How many will we witness?



And my answers are only ever surmises

Maybe a handful of times

Before the next life, before the next life



Here, we stop beneath the leaves

Here, a moment to stay

Here, a gift of pale green color, here above her



And she asks me, how many sunrises

Will we watch from start to finish

How many will we witness?



And my answers are only ever surmises

Maybe a handful of times

Before the next life



A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song

She won't try to tell me, what's right from wrong

A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss

She won't try to tell me, I need more than this



All my answers, all my surmises

Will never do it justice

She'll just have to trust it



Wait here, 'til the sun rises

Watch from start to finish

No one as our witness

With no one as our witness
