You and I, we make a grand salute

stare at eachother like lost little birds across the room

and I remember the way you looked

I learned how to dance, but I'd never shown it to you



my love,

I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be

my love

stay for a while while our leaves are still green

please, for me



I know I tried, but it's hard sometimes

the roots don't take, it takes a while

and you pull at the strings

but they're broken, it seems

the dance isn't over for me, no



my love,

I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be

my love

stay for a while while our leaves are still green

please, for me
